1st attempt at re-upholstering my seats myself
#16
Learning how to upholster a seat cover is not easy. I bought a seat cover bottom off ebay and it fit like crap. I looked at it and thought, this doesn't look hard to do. So I bought a home sewing machine and started to make one. It actually took me about 2 years before I made a set of covers that looked half way decent. The first of many obstacles was the sewing. Very hard to sew layers of leather and vinyl together with a home sewing machine. A walking foot machine is what you need.
If you are thinking about taking it a little further, search Cechaflo on youtube, he's got lots of awesome upholstery video's.
