I'd like to try crocheted cotton earpads sometime.
Reminded me that I want to do this, so may try running some up this weekend.
Would be a cool project for a beginner too, once they've cracked rectangles of basic fabric. Very little of the crochet I did at the start was stuff I or those around me would have use for, so I'd unravel to avoid wasting yarn. Everybody finds learning easier if they quickly arrive at items they want to keep or gift.
Hello, I made this tutorial once when i repaired my bose headphones : https://www.instructables.com/Bose-Headphones-Ear-Cushions-Replacement/
I realized it was too much work and I gave up, but I have a much nicer 5 part template I made for Akg k240. I only did a loosely stitched PU proof-of-concept with these.
this is already printable to A4 size
This is cool, and what great timing - I just spent the last half hour sewing up the seam inside the ear cups of my QC35s. The fake leather is flaking as well so I'll definitely try something like this in the future, probably with fabric (maybe a 4-way stretch cotton knit, athletic fabric probably a good choice)
I was also thinking about crocheting a cover for the top band.
