How An Award-Winning Upholsterer Designs Custom Interiors | Art Insider
I love those commercials disguised as documentaries.
Inspirational. I'm a newbie, (2 years into it) to auto upholstery and consider myself fairly good since the products I've completed for clients have gotten very good remarks. I'm not at your level yet, but I'm working on it. A couple of more years and more projects will get me to this level and I'm going to do this full time so I can quit the mechanical end of auto repairs. 40 years as a tech and I'm majorly burned out bad.
The upholstery job is definitely less messy than the under hood side....but we are the last to see the money...
My old boss told me that with car restoration or custom works...that the customer will have usually gone over budget and that the light being near the end of the tunnel and they just wanna drive the car after the motor/tranny/body/paint stuff is done....they either want something just thrown together super fast or end up just tinting the windows and sitting on bad foam/springs/duct tape or sheepskin covers....
I do miss doing upholstery work. There was definitely a satisfaction of seeing something to its completion...but I am a perfectionist and was more of a "craftsman" than a business man and would often not be home on time and would see a lot of microwaved leftovers instead of warm food at the normal time....
But with the potential of being fired for misgendering someone... there is a skill that I can go back to if the fecal waste hits the turbine blades....
You'll have a different kinda messy when it comes to upholstery work...like convertibles that aren't garage kept and some of the nasty stuff that can collect in the rain rails and draining paths that can sometimes be similar to cleaning out a pipe under the sink....
But I do wish you well! I am often told it is art that isn't appreciated much and those that are good do well... I have 2 shops near where I live and the one doesn't do auto upholstery anymore and the other is closing up and retiring.....but the place I live is said to have people with deep pockets and short arms....it really causes people to work hard at spending good money on quality work. 😅🤣😂
I was told by my old boss that I COULD do something like "Interiors by Shannon"... (should find him on Google or Facebook) He focuses on just one car at a time and that way there isn't a whole lot of jumping from one project to the next...
Another resource for auto upholstery communities is The Hog Ring. A group of auto upholstery guys on Facebook as well.
@@mrupholsteryman Great comment! 👏👏👏👏
@@deltajohnny thanks for the reply! (Not the reason I commented...but sounds like you get it!)
@@mrupholsteryman 😉😉
Can anyone tell me what’s this job called?
This lady's talent is on another level
Love this video. I reupholster medical furniture and I can tell you this is a much harder form of upholstery work. She is awesome
The attention to detail is great! I'd definitely go to her if I wanted some custom interior
Her?
@@dank8823🙄
Stitching, weaving, decorative knots, knitting and crochet, and braiding are all super meditative pattern based practices. My personal favorite is doing decorative knots.
Beautiful Work. I Owned My Own Business Doing Custom Upholstery For 10 Years.
Beautiful work. I have hand stitched marine grade vinyl, leather and fabric. It is not easy by any means and takes a toll on your hands.
Rock on Oksana!
Learning a lot as me and my family just got a small warehouse for our own upholstery! Very excited to learn!
That is so amazing!! She is a master at this!
Beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail
Excellent work! Just Beautiful, really good attention to detail. love the way you develop your flat patterns before stitching and then test fitting before final install. I am currently working of an armrest design that some may want to bring to you for custom covering. I am keeping that possibility in mind as I develop my design. Thank you for posting, very inspirational.
WOW , that is awesome , an art in itself . If I had time , I would love to try to do that . Very cool.
BEAUTIFUL craftsmanship and amazing talent!
Beatiful work. Congratulations 😊
As a classic Porsche enthusiast I can tell her company does great work because they convinced the 993 owner.
You ar world class! That's why u gonna go rich.
I like the yellow inserts with stripes. Hawaiian shirt of seat pads 😎
Wow
Outstanding craftsmanship
She is so talented and amazing!
Why does the work on the seats in that 911 look terrible..?? Is that someone else's work..?
Wish you were in Australia! Need a great upholsterer to do my Valiant Charger.
Awesome work 😍
It seems very nicely done. However I saw some wrinkles that you know very well would never be able to pass quality control for the factory OEM, like RECARO, on the Porsche for example. And as you said. Only practice makes this. But also to listen for constructive criticism from people that are in the upholstery business too. Wrinkles like that might be ok on a LADA or a VOLGA but not on this western high quality cars. Thank you for sharing your passion and awesome work.
Nice details ! That’s the kind of work someone w/a LOT of pride does 👍
it looks awesome
Приятно смотреть когда мастер за работой.
Maginfique realization your work is very rewarding because it is art to get to design such beautiful armchairs I subscribe
4:58 Never thought I'd like that, but I do. Personally I would not want it in a car though because stains become visible very quickly on that bright color.
All dark might be a bit boring, but it is just very practical.
Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
* You all need to do a piece on STITCHED BY SLICK. That's the real custom stitch master*
Love all your beautiful work keep up the great work ❤️ I also do upholstery work mitra's Upholstrey Shop and customizeing in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Excellent work, beautiful shop!
Wauconda Forever!
Absolutely beautiful work. Bravo!
you are just doing amaizing job😘
it can be much more practical and convenience if you use the old seat cover as a mould, copy and paste. save your time a lot. hope it helps!

❤you works very good and you keen for your job. Good luck.
You can try 3 D scanning the seat and then design your own cut outs, could give you more design freedom
Awesome awesome awesome...skillfully intelligent
Very inspirational. After 10years of a back ache from my truck seat I will be experimenting with different foams to make the most amazing seat from the worst seat ever designed by Nissan. It's soooo bad.
Truly a work of art!!!
Every piece is unique and a masterpiece.
Do you take intern? 😂

hey I like you work too much and I'm new in the game but I'm coming 3 years student ❤❤
Recien adquirí mi maquina de coser de triple transporte y mi trabajadora de piel me interesa mucho atender a clientes amantes de lo bueno gracias por compartir tu trabajo saludos desde Iztapalapa CDMX
Lindo trabajo cuando uno ama lo que hace todo sale perfecto 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I love this 💕
Very cool 😃
for everyone saying she has amazing talent ... if I paid $2-$3k on this 0:36 ..... I ain't paying that for that level of wrinkle.
Would you get that on an OEM?
Cool video 👍🏻 Can anyone tell me what this job is called? Or what’s it called when you choose color/wheels/brakes for outside of the car? Thanks 😊
Exelente trabalho muito bom parabéns pelo canal
WOW
Great video - do you have subtitles available as I find it hard to understand at times?
At first I thought it was an asmr video
Wow! Hello! How are you? You have a very cool TH-cam channel. Very cool work. You are a very talented person.
May God keep you! I wish you and your channel success! May you have 10 millions subscribers! You're cool!
I wished y’all were in Alabama. I need my seats reupholstered. 😢
Excellent work; what sewing machine are you using in the video?
Przepięknie wykonane 👍
Chyba nie w tym Porshe 🫣
I wish I could afford stuff like this. I've ruined my seats from living in my car, and have no way to fix it. It's a bummer things aren't durable like they used to be.
Oчень притятно смотреть когда мастер, в данном случае мастерица знает и любит свое дело. Единсвенное что, Оксана, обычно проговаривают "Инк" от Инкорпорэйтэд, не Ай Эн Си :)
Но это мелочь - Ваше мастерство это просто класс
Woow..!! Great job but I am an upholsterer in Ghana and wants to come and work in your company
👍
What kind of foam do you use for shaping the seat and making it comfy? I need to work on my racing chair that is falling apart, needs to be rebolsterd and new covers. T_T
