How to Make a Shift Boot in Leather (Part One)-Car upholstery

PART TWO: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaLJgouvrtmNY7s

[@GregsGarage]

I need to make one of these. Thanks for the video Cesar!

[@Cechaflo]

Hi Greg, I am so glad to hear from you! This video is part one. In next video part two I will show how to handsew the open seams with two thin needles in order to get the four french seams. It could be done in an easier way with just one needle. The distance from hole to hole should be of 3 mm to get a tight plain stitch. In these sunvisor's videos I show some of this handsewing technique:kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZakdYdmeq98Z5I (min twelve:10) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH68nXadZq12apo (min four:32)

[@Cechaflo]

I am glad the video is useful and have found some inspiration!

Thank you, Cechaflo for adding this link to buy your upholstery courses! I hope you will add this link to ALL of your KZbin videos.

[@Cechaflo]

I really appreciate your kind remarks!

[@TerjeNormann]

Hi! Your videos are awesome. Thanks for charing. Have you ever made a video about how to make a leather parade cover boot for convertibles?

[@Cechaflo]

I have never made one. But, I am capable of doing it.

[@TerjeNormann]

@@Cechaflo Do you have some video out here that shows some of the stitching you recomend for edging and joining tree parts toghether? It will become one mid section and two side /"wing" sections that will point forward on the sides. I'm into making a template now, but not sure what would be the best looking and strongest seams...

[@valtergaspar1889]

ok waiting for the next video👏👏👏

[@Cechaflo]

Next video part two is ready. We will post it in 2 to 3 days more. Pretty interesting 'cause it shows a basic handsewing technique all the upholsterers should know.

[@marinalasmanovica3436]

Благодарю за ваше видео! 😍😍😍 У Вас золотые руки! 👍👍👍👍👍Очень интересный приём с проколоми на шве, для дальнейшей работы. Очень интересно👍, беру себе на заметку. Хочу себе такую швейную машину.😋 У меня кожи много, но простая машина, не всегда её шьёт🤔. Ещё раз благодарю! Подписана! Жду следущий мастер класс!❤

[@Cechaflo]

I really appreciate your kind comment! To do upholstery is advisable a double or triple transport sewing machine (walking foot). There are differenttrade marks, such as Juki, Pfaff, Consew, Brother, Singer, Adler, etc. In a moment more we will post part 2 of this video.

No se pierda el siguiente video parte 2 donde muestro como coser a mano la parte abierta. Además mostraré un método mas simple de hacer estos forros/capuchas cónicas para la palanca de cambio. Muchas gracias por ver el video!

[@javierramos2800]

Bien cechaflo

[@Cechaflo]

¡Muchas gracias por apreciar esta artesanía! En el siguiente video parte 2 se muestra como cerrar la parte abierta cosiendo a mano y que parezca hecho con máquina de coser.

[@XxBUDDYCALLxX]

awesome video! i have a baby lock bl9, what foot should I use to get the top stitching so close like that?

[@Cechaflo]

Any standard flat foot could be useful.

[@chibiusatsukino2893]

How did u put it together at the end??

[@Cechaflo]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaLJgouvrtmNY7s

[@Albanez39]

How did you measure the previous boot? Or the base and shift knob to make the 4 pieces of leather for this project?

[@Cechaflo]

Shift boots are of different size for each car trademark. The one of the video is only a sample on how a shift boot could be approached. The simplest way to make a boot would be to unsew and copy the old boot to the new vinyl or leather. In case of not having a mold, then we should start from zero measuring the square or rectangular base. Next the height to the hand lever close to the knob. By having these measures I would start making up my molds in paper or plastic.

Thank You

[@Cechaflo]

You are welcome!

What is the fabric used in this video called?

[@Cechaflo]

It is not fabric. It is natural leather.

[@juliodanielalbarracin3668]

..very very good excellent..👍✌️🇦🇷

[@Cechaflo]

I really appreciate your kind comment!

[@chippy3197]

Do you have a template you could share?? If not, what is the measurement of each triangle? Thanks in advance.

[@Cechaflo]

The lateral sides are 18 cm long and the base side is 12 cm. Take into account the vertical sides are slightly rounded getting close to the bottom. These are related videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaLJgouvrtmNY7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYvEd4awj61soLM

[@عليالجزائري-ط6ر]

Very nice but I see that the hole of the needle is a little narrow in my opinion and where the rest of the end is

[@Cechaflo]

This video is part one. In next video part two, I will show how to hand sew the seams following the little holes.

[@lakshmanaraokoneti8284]

Plz show in massure ments in boot

[@mirzajabbar2133]

Most of these videos are educational and are not rules to follow. Perhaps an exaggerated explanation precisely to pick up what is convenient. In other words these are not for professionals.

[@idrisagabekov8620]

Цирк а не мастерство. Зачем столько непонятных телодвижений ? Такими темпами вы салон за год не успеете зашить .

[@patrickperry6945]

Don’t like this method. Too many seams and the wrong kind imo. Don’t get me wrong. This guy is spectacular. It’s just that I’ve done this. Without all the hand sewing and only one seam.

[@Cechaflo]

Thanks for your commentary! I personally do not like this design. I also prefer one seam and the use of a lace to tighten up the head of the cone. A car trimmer on the Hog Ring Forum posted a picture with this shift boot design and asked for opinions on how to approach it similar. That is why it inspired me to do it alike the shown picture.

[@lucybailey34]

@@Cechaflo have you got a video or instructions on how to do this method?

[@romanlars4037]

Too much effort. I replaced mine with a new one for $8.00usd.

[@Cechaflo]

Most of these videos are educational and aimed to people who is studying upholstery.
