Just finished this pad up. Just a wrap, no french seam. Done in parchment material that was sent with it.

I posted some pictures of the ends to show how I finish them off with no french seam, I know someone asked a little while back. I make a slit and get rid of all the excess material and then butt the two edges together. Once its installed youll never notice it. Just make sure to keep the material flat when its butted together or it will look like crap. Honestly its a lot more difficult than it looks doing one of these wraps, so if your going to do it take your time and be patient and youll get a good result. This pad came out Awesome!
