In comes a sled seat needing some restoration work. The cover had some clues in it but a pattern had to be created from scratch.
Here shows the base, foam, and old cover.
A Quick shot of all the pieces after the design process. Many years in the school of hard knocks to get this cleanly cut and sewn.
Attached with stainless staples with a very good quality marine vinyl, this worked up pretty nice!
Some modifications to the tool box flap helped in improving the cover.
This seat is costing the owner a substantial amount less than if purchased from the corporations. What great value.
Thanks for looking!
I was ask to do a motor cycle seat which looked quite similar. I wasn't sure I could do that so called baseball/cadillac stitch. I didn't think it was going to be worth the stress. So many people,especially family and friends, think of upholstery as "just add water and stir".
ReplyDeleteI keep out of trouble and frustration by staying away from ANY "weird" requests. I Will not put or use piping on any motorcycle seat i take on. I top stitch the seams after I know what I got. That way i get simple clean work.
ReplyDeleteI steam it up or heat hand dryer sure helps!
