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.
Cato, great to see you here,do miss you though with the Martin bros. Always loved your fantastic interiors,outstanding. And thank you for doing this ,quite timely fo me as i,m restoring a triumph spitfire. I,m sure your tutelage will be well recieved good luck to you ,friend
What I appreciated most is that am in sierra leone feeling like am right in USA learning upholstery. Thank you guys am dearly developing with you a spectacular skill.
Awesome work guys! Just started tinkering with a sewing machine. I want to learn how to do this stuff so that I can reupholster my dream car, that after waiting over 40 years I finally acquired last year! Need to schedule taking your next class for sure!
I have been making my own seat covers for my motorcycle a few times now and it's basically just basic pleats and connections. Really would like to try making one for my car. Learned a lot of tricks from this video! Great job!
I do my own upholstery my mother was a Seamstress and her old machines were used a little improperly but they they worked until I could afford the proper machine seeing people learn this trade is fantastic! I like restoring classic Cars have learned a lot from You Tube channels too! Keep Learning!
Been in the upholstery business 46 years. Cato does great work! Watched a lot on Iron Resurrection. I would like to see a how to video on leather wrapping and stitching a steering wheel. .
Omg, it's the first time I ask you tube a question and I find exactly what I am looking for on the first title I hit. You guys are awesome. I am from the UK and wish that I could work in a place like yours. You have a laugh but are serious about your work and excellent at it. Well done at the sewing as well as corners are never easy especially when it's leather and foam. 😊
Just bought a Lotus Europa, and need to reupholster the seats. This is so helpful - even if I buy the covers the assembly tuition is going to be so handy to refer to.
i did upholstery at a boat factory, then did custom boat upholstery. hard part is to learn to stitch straight. now i learned how to build a shoe/boot from scratch with 360 welts. i messed up a lot of shoes and boots before i made something worth wearing. glad i used cheap leathers. humans have the fastest muscle memory, we learn fast.
What types of foam are you using ? and what material should I use for making a console... my car is a 1948 Pontiac...my goal is to Keep the metal bench seat frame and put bucket seats with a middle console.... Seems no one has done- Everyone gets rid of the metal frame.
The brown template or cardboard you’re using in the beginning…. What is that used for? I see after you take it away I see small lines on your material. Is this for reference
Good job on the seat cover and awesome video! Very informative. What size thread do you sew the covers with? I noticed your machine was a Consew, what needle size do you use? I have made vinyl & leather purses & bags and my son & I are going to have a go with seat covers for a 1930 Ford. I would love to take one of your classes!
Super video the truth is very good I work with my dad on upholstery and the truth is that at first I almost didn't like it but I have taken an interest in learning and I already know how to use the sewing machine but I still feel that I lack it, I think that sewing has its secrets
I’m in the process of planning on making a custom bomber style bucket seat for my gokart, but struggling how i would fasten the cushion to the bomber seat. Any idea how i would go about that? I was thinking of putting a steel plate with welded on nuts on the wood backing, (hides the stapling as well), then bolting that to my bomber seat. Would that work?
Does your shop reupholster seats for a 1979 Lincoln Mark V? I’m from New Mexico 87537. I own one. The Cartier edition and I feel Lincoln should’ve made a cream 2 tone velour with dark red/burgundy leather inserts on the seats.
Great job Solomon! Yes! definitely like the how to, you do the work instruction video, also like any, how do you do that vidio's? Trans build, injector size and balance build, dash update and replacement, " Dakota Digital ". 9" Detroit lockers... Thanks for sharing 👍. ✌🏻🔑 🙋♂️ 🌧 🇨🇦 👨🦽 😎.
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.
Hey that's my trade Auto upholstery that's funny school for more upholsters there's not enough work in this trade I started learning in the 1980s when I was a younger.
I wish could really meet your class to get the know-how... Unfortunately I'm living in Germany 😢 So only via video material I can try to get it into my head and hands 😅

Good to see Cato. Awesome content.
This is so awesome I do all my custom work except for upholstery and I really want to learn and buy a sewing machine!! Love the video guys
Just bought a Lotus Europa, and need to reupholster the seats. This is so helpful - even if I buy the covers the assembly tuition is going to be so handy to refer to.
Cato! I’ve lost track of you since your departure from your last gig on Iron Resurrection. I’m following now!
Congratulations.. regards from Athens Greece...
That would be so cool to learn just to do my own bench seat upholstery. Nice job Solomon. 👍
right, it would probably be cheaper even with taking the class
Nice work Solomon
Great seat
A bunch of work into each seat Cato
Impressive
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Catos!! It is like I was in the class.
I'll probably be watching a lot of your vids so I can start helping my dad at his Upholstery business here in Lake Wylie SC.
i did upholstery at a boat factory, then did custom boat upholstery. hard part is to learn to stitch straight. now i learned how to build a shoe/boot from scratch with 360 welts. i messed up a lot of shoes and boots before i made something worth wearing. glad i used cheap leathers. humans have the fastest muscle memory, we learn fast.
I haven't seen Cato since iron resurrection... it's good to see him still doing his thing.
Would really love to attend one of those classes 👍👍

Immaculate vibes. GREAT vid
Very cool , I know why getting a seat done is expensive . Good work
Great video, wish you hadn't timelapsed the parts, where Cato actually explained and demonstrated how to fix a mistake and how to do it properly.

I’m an auto upholsterer for 43 years. I love the customers that ask “Can’t you just throw a quick cover on it?”

Fly in, we couldn’t give to much info
What types of foam are you using ? and what material should I use for making a console... my car is a 1948 Pontiac...my goal is to Keep the metal bench seat frame and put bucket seats with a middle console.... Seems no one has done- Everyone gets rid of the metal frame.
Great job guys. I need my seats done.
Great job bro.
Thanks for the visit
starting at 8:15. what is the little piece of fabric under the needle at the beginning and added to the end of the stitch line?
its just to help not reset the stitch
@@FordEra so it’s essentially makes it as if your sewing a continuous line of stitching?
Love you schooling..... I want to learn more.....
Man I would kill to take a class there! Been a fan of his work a long time. They going to put Salomon on the payroll Lol
Anyone can sign up.
@@FordEra I had no idea he offered that
@@frankm8533 every once in awhile he does. i put the link to his website in the description
The brown template or cardboard you’re using in the beginning…. What is that used for? I see after you take it away I see small lines on your material. Is this for reference
yes it was the guide
Great stuff i like the sewing machine it's have a lot of space.
Do you have a video on foam selection? I want to make really comfortable Cadillac seats
Good job for your 1st time your going to do great especially with Cato by your side. Wish they would of given Cato more tv time while he was sewing
Looks very neat! I would like too get an old style hippie bus and learn how too make custom seats and more! Thanks for the video. 😀
Good job on the seat cover and awesome video! Very informative. What size thread do you sew the covers with? I noticed your machine was a Consew, what needle size do you use? I have made vinyl & leather purses & bags and my son & I are going to have a go with seat covers for a 1930 Ford. I would love to take one of your classes!
Great job thanks for sharing
You bet
How do you compress springs enough to attach vinyl to a metal seat?
Super video the truth is very good I work with my dad on upholstery and the truth is that at first I almost didn't like it but I have taken an interest in learning and I already know how to use the sewing machine but I still feel that I lack it, I think that sewing has its secrets
What kind of glue was in the can vs in the spray gun?
Hey guys , thank you for the video , can you tell me what kind of material you used in the video? Would like to try this restoration my self , thanks
Awesome, what is the density of the foam being used there?
This is AWESOME! Hope I can find a class like this in the Los Angeles area, I’m working on a 65’ Riviera (and maybe a career change 😆)
What is the scrap piece of material used at the end of the stitch
Best wishes🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks
What foam is that you are starting with?
Any specs?
what fabric do you use for the upholstery?
Wanted to look into some of the classes but the link is broken. Is there a new site?
Great stuff! This might inspire people to learn this trade!
You guys did a good job amazing! Where are you guys located!??
I would love to take one of your classes.
I’m in the process of planning on making a custom bomber style bucket seat for my gokart, but struggling how i would fasten the cushion to the bomber seat. Any idea how i would go about that? I was thinking of putting a steel plate with welded on nuts on the wood backing, (hides the stapling as well), then bolting that to my bomber seat. Would that work?
Does your shop reupholster seats for a 1979 Lincoln Mark V? I’m from New Mexico 87537. I own one. The Cartier edition and I feel Lincoln should’ve made a cream 2 tone velour with dark red/burgundy leather inserts on the seats.
When and where is the next class?
Great job Solomon!
Yes! definitely like the how to, you do the work instruction video, also like any, how do you do that vidio's? Trans build, injector size and balance build, dash update and replacement, " Dakota Digital ". 9" Detroit lockers...
Thanks for sharing 👍.
✌🏻🔑 🙋♂️ 🌧 🇨🇦 👨🦽 😎.
I plan to do alot more of the how to videos in the future
My favorite part of this video is when the video is sped up during the teaching points
Any info on density of foams used in different areas?
Im learning 😌
2 repair worn out seat cushion, can u repair without removing the entire seat?
Amazing stuff. I'm looking to get into doing this. What type of sewing machine would work ??
When is the next one?
I was taught never to glue leather to foam and never to glue the cover to the seat foam.
I also learnt the same... the way they did is easier, but leather and foam must move indepently 👍
it's temp glue. doesn't really matter after you sew the backing on tbh
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.
I was taught to notch the foam together
Hey that's my trade Auto upholstery that's funny school for more upholsters there's not enough work in this trade I started learning in the 1980s when I was a younger.
Thanks for the video. The link took me to online classes and not the in-person classes. Maybe you can take a look at it...
I will check it out
I wish could really meet your class to get the know-how...
Unfortunately I'm living in Germany 😢
So only via video material I can try to get it into my head and hands 😅
