Attention ! For begginers or for more precise work , just remove your old seats upholstery and unsew everything into pieces, so then you will have a completely precise pattern for your car seats. Then at the pattern you can design custom upholstery designs , and then you just have a little more job because it's custom design but if you want to change just fabric of seats this way it's a lot easier.

I would cut just through the foam leave a large hem in the center lay the cover over the seat foam then use Hog Rings underneath onto the Springs of the seat in the outer centers first no glue then pull material over the foam and Hog Ring the edges then attach the side covers. You said yours were custom every application is different! I would like to see someone do a solid headliner with a line around and just inside the outer edge. I have a 66 Charger Headliner I have to in Dark Blue suede. It has two line that are recessed and when I removed the material those lines are less prominent and now I need to add some foam to the soft fiberglass headliner board.

Thank you for posting this video! It helps me feel more comfortable about tackling the re-upholstery projects I have ahead of me! :) Hey... question... I am planning to redo the original seats in our Sprinter van so they're more comfortable for the wife and me on long trips. Plus, I need to re-do the bench seats in the way back since they need to match the captain's seats I got from a set of '06 Envoy SUV's. Anyway, for the driver and passenger seats, is it better to go with a more dense foam or should I go with something softer? Or should I do a layer of more dense foam covered with a layer of softer foam? Comfort and support are my goals (nobody likes a sore butt!). Thanks again for your videos!
