Hard to believe this was done by a shop. However, I work in the trades and my mind gets blown by the stuff some contractors do. I once saw a roof with no roofing nails.
A carpenter left a window with me she had attempted a repair and the customer wasn't happy. It was so bad I kept it as it made me laugh each time I saw it. It looked like a small child had fixed it. This person is now a registered builder. I find it hard to believe. !!
@@messenger8279 Hello Messenger, I also have a seat insert panel I have saved to show my customers what is out there as far as workmanship. Please keep liking and watching!
Diaper? or seat cover. I am a total armature and nothing I have ever done has ever looked that bad. Even my first ones I was sewing by hand. still looked better than that.
this is the kind of work you do for yourself as a study or practice learning piece; never to get paid to do; and I would never even think to take the job in the first place even if it was working for free..
That's not even a good DIY job ... that's a joke ... you saved it though ... just came across your channel ... I had to subscrbe immediately ... my kind of content ...
I am aghast at that quality of work !! I would not even accept that for my own work as a DIY!! I am trying to learn to reupholster now and am looking for education resources…so I NEVER turn out that horrible product. By the way, I am open to a comprehensive educational source.
Listening here….i have a seat back to go on …slips over like a sock…there is a pull strip in the middle of the inside back…how the heck to I hog ring that on?
Hello The, If the new cover has listing, you should be able to hog ring it. I start with the cover inside out and pulling it down like a sock while hog ringing along the way. Please keep liking and watching!
I have a question. When making new patterns using original foam that is still good. Do you always mirror the pattern? Do you cut the left and right sides the same even if the foam on either side is a little misshaped?
Hello Mr, If one side of the same seat is different from the other side, they should be duplicated just the way they are. I only mirror a pattern if I am doing a left seat and a right seat at the same time. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Naidao, So you can appreciate the lack of quality for sure right? I was told the customer paid for materials. Nice guy... Please keep liking and watching!
Okay, if the bad one was you very 1st attempt that you did for your own car, it's not too bad. But if you charged something for that, it's pretty darn bad.
Sure I can do that. But who knows when a customer will be bringing in a steering wheel to do... Thanks for watching and thanks for the great suggestion.
The only thing you said which I do not agree with was when you said that seat was done by your competition. Whoever did that seat was NOT your competition! That work looked more like a slip cover.
The pro thing you did was not to publicly name the other company. I used to work as a senior technician at a top window manufacture in western Canada and I always was asked about the other companies. Some of our customers were looking for me to tarnish the name of the other window manufactures that made windows in our market. I refused to do that. My job was to repair our products and not to bash other companies. I worked for one of the other companies and I had the same rule there. In my opinion you are treading a real fine line when naming and cutting down others.
Years ago I bought a complete upholstery kit for my nomad wagon I studied and did a great deal of thinking how I was going to attack this situation ,I bought a steam machine along with extra cotton for extra padding. I am glad with the out come it looks very professional, saved alot of money,but I spent a lot of time getting all the wrinkles out ,but I love the outcome or should I say the labor of love.
@@albertvelasquez7089 Yes, that's the way it works. The more time you spend making something right, the better it will turn out. I am so glad to hear your good news! Thanks for watching!
How do you stop someone from doing that to you? If they do the work there going to want there money. And they wont give you the seat back until you pay them so.... How can you stop them ?
Hello Bew, Your right to be worried. This can happen. This is why it is so important to learn what you can about the person doing the work. Be sure they can prove to you they can do it. Ask about their experience, and to provide pictures of their past work. Read their reviews! This is what I do with my website: Rudolphsupholstery.com Please keep liking and watching!
I own 3 x classic 80's V8 W126 Mercecdes ( 2 x coupes 87 & 88 and 1 x 89 560SEL) and do all the resto work myself except for upholstery, but now recently retired and all the time to learn leather sewing which iam very keen to learn. My next door neighbour (Nancy) is also retired from owning a curtain business all her working life and now has her industrial sewing machines in her garage which i can access to learn on. I live in Perth, western Australia Your teaching skills are top notch as i stumbled on your channel recently and love the detail you put into your video's I have spare seats for my cars and over time i have collected leather covers in varying states of condition and the foam molds/backings for the seat shape that mounts to the frame The mercedes leathers have that under material (some threaded with wire) in the creases so in the crease it can be pulled & hooked to create the deep creases in the pattern. Over time that under material deteriorates and the crease lets go giving the leather seat base in particular a flat appearance instead of the correct deep recesses I would like to refurb these leather covers (the centre sections have perforations (holes pattern) and side bolsters smooth I would like to bolster the sides more on both the seat base and the the seat back for a more snug fit much like the Recaro's are shapes on the bolters and perhaps it may require the patterns to be enlarged with fesh material to accomodate Sorry for this post being long but it would be ideal for you to demonstrate repairing the above pleat issues and how to mode the seats for larger side bolsters
Hi! Everything you said here is all true. Here they call it horse hair pad for the seats. I am getting ready to do some corvette seats with larger side bolsters which I need to change the patterns for the new seat shape. Thank you so much for watching!
The light one is the kind of seat you take to get fixed because it is old and looks like hell. You don't expect that to come that way newly done. I would not accept that even if that was the finished product that I did and I don't know what I am doing!!
Yep, it was newly done! Luckily, he did not have to pay for the first attempt. He was a very happy customer when he came to pick up the whole set of seats from me. One commenter thinks I made up everything for video content... Thanks for watching!

I recognize that type of work. That type of work is brought to me all the time. It's the customer who always try to do it themselves and says that someone else did the work, because they are too embarrassed to admit that they were the ones who done the work to try to save money.
Hell Fred, Yep, I could see that happening. In this case, I did know the lady who did it. She called me one day for some advise. Please keep liking and watching!

@oldschoolautoupholstery always I have been doing this for around 10 years pops has 38 years in it. I learn something new on just about every job we do. #1 rule of our shop is make sure the customer is satisfied with the job before it leaves.
@@Daja_Vu1986 Hello Deja, Yep, always learning. Like I say, learning is doing. My principal is that I need to be satisfied before my customer ever sees it. The reason is you never want the customer to find something to complain about. Please keep liking and watching!
OMG! An upholstery shop did that?! What a debacle! That looks horrible. I'm thinking they won't be your "competition" for long. If the customer would have just done a little homework, they would have come to you in the first place. Now he gets to pay twice. 😮
Hello X, I am not sure if she is really an upholstery shop, but I know that she does take on some upholstery jobs maybe for extra cash.

@@oldschoolautoupholstery my dad always told me, "quality is like buying oats. If you're happy with oats that have already gone through the horse...that's alot cheaper"!
@@xfactorautomotive1496 Hello X, Yep, I have seen that's the case from my customers several times throughout my 44 years. Please keep liking and watching!
I did the seat bottoms on my Excursion and wrapped the steering wheel. Now, I didn't make the covers or the wrap. I bought them and put them on. Yes, not quite the same but for me not having access to the equipment nor your professional abilities, that was fine with me. It looked like a factory finish when I was done however. The steering wheel wrap had to be hand-sewn with what was included. Turned out very tight and hasn't come loose in the two years since I did it. Much better than those horrible slip-on steering wheel covers. The seat foam and covers are still perfect.
😵😵😵😵 I purchased an industrial sewing machine and did some leather covers for my car seats, and even at my 1st try it came out better! That lady will not be in business for very long...
I would be embarrassed to let my name be attached to that. Also if you do this, the customer is not going to be happy and they will tell everyone they know how bad it is. Word of mouth can be the best or worst advertisement.
Great video. You said that this was a fabrication, not an alteration. Can you define what is meant by fabrication and do a video where you fabricate something so we can see how it's done from scratch?
Hello Starnet, Fabrication is when there are no patterns to go off of. Making something from nothing. Maybe I will have a fabrication customer in the future. Thanks for watching!
That's some real sad looking work there. I would be ashamed to show the customer. Your a sport for even taking it on to fix. I grew up as child labor in my dads shop back in the sixties & could sew better than that when I was 12! The old Singer 31-15 is STILL being used in my sisters shop. Nice work sir! I have a 77 Coupe Deville & am watching your videos to refresh myself before diving in to save the leather deats. Also going to try & convert the passenger seat back to recline. ( Wife demands it)( Dad was a Trim Tech at Fords design center for decades & did all of the 'future cars' back then. He would bring the Ford family members cars home, for luxury leather & goose down stuffing. Sorry for the run on. I have a lot of upholstery memories.
Great work . Many don’t care or relate to quality workmanship. You made reference to a She did the work 🫣 I hope the customer didn’t pay for that shoddy seat Re-upholstery
Hello Mike, The customer told me he paid for the materials, maybe he felt bad for her. They must have come to some kind of settlement. Please keep liking and watching!
I'm just about to attempt my first seat. If you're bad/new to upholstery, you can buy practice fabric from second-hand stores. I got 4 yards of sturdy fabric for $1.50! It has been great for practicing! I've made SO many mistakes and it's only cost time. I'm not sure that I would have done better than the one on the left. However, this is a new hobby and will likely never be my profession. It's just fun to first-hand see the work that goes into things.

The wrong choice of vinyl was a part of the problem. I certainly can't go to a local store and pick out vinyl. I'd have to order. Can you make a video about where you get your materials (outside of glue, I know where you get that!) and how you make sure you have the correct colors. Thanks
Wow I hope they didn't pay for this. It looks like something I would have made :-) I'm a Joiner and I make great windows and doors but I know if I tried to do your job it would look like this :-).

That certainly "cutting some corners" ...Wow that was bad. Word of mouth is key to continued business when you do good work. I couldnt imagine doing something that bad for a customer.
Wow what a difference. Is that seat out of a Trans AM thinking about a 76-78? I have an 80 and looks real similar. I can never do this 1) i dont have a Juki (about $2k used) 2) no patience and 3) I have no attention to detail for this line of work. Hats off to your Sir!
I know better than to try upholstery, but i did recover an armrest for my current project using 3m super 90 spray adhesive. I think i know better than to tackle the headliner myself, but i might not be opposed to trying the cloth door panel insets that need replacing ,thats if the 3m stuff is ok, for that i see alot of vids saying to use the pro glue especially for headliners.

Hey man first of all I want to thank you for sharing your tips&tricks with us! I've got a gel insert from luimoto but I want to install it with my factory seat cover because it had a colored embroidered (M) logo because its a limited edition bike! My bike is a 2022 BMW M1000RR Competition if you have the time to Google it and see if its even possible or should I just suffer with the brick hard seat because? Thanks for any advice you might or if possible I can actually ship it to you if this is something you think should only be done by a professional like yourself!
Hello M1000, You are so welcome! As long as the gel insert does not drastically change the shape of the seat, I believe that you can use the same cover. Maybe Google "Upholstery shop near me" for help. Shipping is very expensive now. Please keep watching!
It's hard to believe someone paid for that. I don't know enough to spot a bad job but that thing is glaringly bad. My seven year old would look funny at it.
@Old School Auto Upholstery Techniques I'd love to have you work on my interior. I used a reupholster here in Houston and they did an ok job. I see you take so much pride in your work. I admire that. My father was a tailor and you *seam* to take similar pride in your craft. It is difficult to find people like you in this new generation of work force. No one takes pride in their work or craft much anymore. I like that you don't take shortcuts and you don't jeopardize the job by using cheap quality materials.

Hello I'm trying to recover my dashboard on my 1970 Ford f100. It was cracked and brittle so I heated up the vinyl and took it off without damaging the foam underneath.the question is the foam still has crack lines in it and I don't want it show when I recover it with new vinyl.so how would you suggest I cover the cracked foam on the dash.i want to french Seam the vinyl. I am going to do it my self.the foam is not missing only has lines of cracks running in it. Thank you for any suggestions and for your knowledge and time.
So i was wondering if you do classes on upholstery? I’m getting ready to retire soon, and I think I would like to learn this trade. Thanks for another video on education.

Well words fail me it is absolutely disgusting even for a beginner. I hope she did not part with any money ! . I have had the odd mistake but I endeavoured to put it right before it left the workshop , where was the personal pride of the idiot who attempted it ! ! . DISGUSTING .
Well, I have to say that she gave it her best shot. In the end, she did not charge her customer for it. Now the seats look great in my customer's '71 Nova. Thanks for watching!
There is no way a shop did this. They wouldn’t be in business this is just a video to push out content. This looks like the first time I did a seat and I do mean the first time after watching a handful of videos. Come on man. Stop with the bullshit just be real..
It really was a lady who has experience doing this in my small town. I spoke with her once, and she came by to visit me. She complained about arthritis in her hands. Needless to say, when the owner got them back, he was not happy. He then brought the two front seats and the rear seat to have me redo them. This video is the result. I really don't have the time to make bad upholstery to "Push out" content as you say. Thanks for the comment though!

A carpenter left a window with me she had attempted a repair and the customer wasn't happy. It was so bad I kept it as it made me laugh each time I saw it. It looked like a small child had fixed it. This person is now a registered builder. I find it hard to believe. !!

I have a question. When making new patterns using original foam that is still good. Do you always mirror the pattern? Do you cut the left and right sides the same even if the foam on either side is a little misshaped?
Hello Mr, If one side of the same seat is different from the other side, they should be duplicated just the way they are. I only mirror a pattern if I am doing a left seat and a right seat at the same time. Please keep liking and watching!

The only thing you said which I do not agree with was when you said that seat was done by your competition. Whoever did that seat was NOT your competition! That work looked more like a slip cover.
Hello Greavous, Well, that is just the way it worked out. The lady in our area did it, then I had to redo it. Thanks for watching!
The pro thing you did was not to publicly name the other company. I used to work as a senior technician at a top window manufacture in western Canada and I always was asked about the other companies. Some of our customers were looking for me to tarnish the name of the other window manufactures that made windows in our market. I refused to do that. My job was to repair our products and not to bash other companies. I worked for one of the other companies and I had the same rule there. In my opinion you are treading a real fine line when naming and cutting down others.

Years ago I bought a complete upholstery kit for my nomad wagon I studied and did a great deal of thinking how I was going to attack this situation ,I bought a steam machine along with extra cotton for extra padding.

I own 3 x classic 80's V8 W126 Mercecdes ( 2 x coupes 87 & 88 and 1 x 89 560SEL) and do all the resto work myself except for upholstery, but now recently retired and all the time to learn leather sewing which iam very keen to learn. My next door neighbour (Nancy) is also retired from owning a curtain business all her working life and now has her industrial sewing machines in her garage which i can access to learn on. I live in Perth, western Australia
Your teaching skills are top notch as i stumbled on your channel recently and love the detail you put into your video's
I have spare seats for my cars and over time i have collected leather covers in varying states of condition and the foam molds/backings for the seat shape that mounts to the frame
The mercedes leathers have that under material (some threaded with wire) in the creases so in the crease it can be pulled & hooked to create the deep creases in the pattern. Over time that under material deteriorates and the crease lets go giving the leather seat base in particular a flat appearance instead of the correct deep recesses
I would like to refurb these leather covers (the centre sections have perforations (holes pattern) and side bolsters smooth
I would like to bolster the sides more on both the seat base and the the seat back for a more snug fit much like the Recaro's are shapes on the bolters and perhaps it may require the patterns to be enlarged with fesh material to accomodate
Sorry for this post being long but it would be ideal for you to demonstrate repairing the above pleat issues and how to mode the seats for larger side bolsters
Hi! Everything you said here is all true. Here they call it horse hair pad for the seats. I am getting ready to do some corvette seats with larger side bolsters which I need to change the patterns for the new seat shape. Thank you so much for watching!

I did the seat bottoms on my Excursion and wrapped the steering wheel. Now, I didn't make the covers or the wrap. I bought them and put them on. Yes, not quite the same but for me not having access to the equipment nor your professional abilities, that was fine with me. It looked like a factory finish when I was done however.
The steering wheel wrap had to be hand-sewn with what was included. Turned out very tight and hasn't come loose in the two years since I did it. Much better than those horrible slip-on steering wheel covers.
The seat foam and covers are still perfect.

I'm just about to attempt my first seat. If you're bad/new to upholstery, you can buy practice fabric from second-hand stores. I got 4 yards of sturdy fabric for $1.50! It has been great for practicing! I've made SO many mistakes and it's only cost time. I'm not sure that I would have done better than the one on the left. However, this is a new hobby and will likely never be my profession. It's just fun to first-hand see the work that goes into things.
