This is the same exact truck seat I just did. Cut the whole thing apart made my patterns and sewed them all. Including the French seams. For only my 3rd time on a sewing machine I'm pretty impressed with myself. Keep these videos coming they are a huge help to gain knowledge.
I really enjoy your videos. They are the most helpful and understandable on the internet. Thank you for doing these videos so I can learn more from them. I love the fact that you call out the internet know-it-alls trying to tell you how to do a job they can't. If I find myself in East Texas again, I'm gonna stop by and buy you lunch.

@@oldschoolautoupholstery lol.. shit man, thanks for the encouragement but i gotta feeling ima mess it up big time. sewing is the part that i hate the most. i can tear the seat apart but man, that sewing..lol
I did one like this Wednesday. It’s hard to get this kind of fabric material but luckily I had some of a close match. You didn’t show fixing the cushion but I know how to do that. I noticed you sew around the pieces before you sew em together. I’ve never done that. Is it better or necessary? Sorry about Lucille 😢. Anyway, thanks for showing your sharp skills. Looking forward to meeting you one day !!😊
Hello Eddie, I do have other videos showing the foam repair. This was really about the seat cover repair. I have always sewn around the pieces, the only way I know. Lucille, I know huh? See ya! Please keep liking and watching!
Great video! You make this look so easy. I´m making seat cushions for my boat and it´s a lot harder than it looks but I´m slowly making progress.. :) It´s really satisfying when you´ve finnished a cushion and you did it yourself.
Thank you for your videos. My side hustle is making bags so I work with vinyl a lot. I was asked if I could do car interiors and I didn’t even know how to answer. Here in Illinois it’s a 6-12 month wait to get upholstery done. I still have a lot to learn before I say yes, but I have learned a lot from your videos.
Hello Dana, You know with such demand you can name your own high price and make a very good living. Learning is doing! Please keep liking and watching!
Excellent ! But I wanted to see how you fixed the foam cushion part that had been chiseled and worn away .. I'll look thru your other video's and search for foam shaping Thanks for posting these vids ! .. One more thing , I heard you mention Texas in your posts .. I'm in Stagecoach ( near Houston ) and I'm wondering how close you are and if I might send some work your way .. Thanks again for your super helpful tips ! 😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Angel, I do have many foam repairing videos because this is so common. I really only accept work from my locals as they keep me too busy. I never have a free minute. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Jizzah, You are almost right. Sometimes if I am not filming for a video, I am working in cruise control and don't give it much thought. Hehe. I guess that's what 45 years will do to you. Please keep liking and watching!
Did you do a video where you talking about where you source your materials from? Like, I can't just use cloth from HobbyLobby, it would need to be UV resistant at the very least right? Almost wish the owner did keep it stock.
Hello Thetarr, For auto, you would want automotive fabrics. Just Google, "Upholstery supplier near me" That would have been a very short video... Hehe. I get my materials from Keyston Bros. They have several locations in the USA and they ship. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Arturo, Sometime the perforation is for heated or air conditioned seats. If not air conditioned, you can use either perforated or non-perforated vinyl or leather. Please keep liking and watching!
Mr. Richard, when the seat cover is apart do you think it's a good idea to throw it in washing machine for customer before reassembling it? Or is it best to leave it dirty and let them have it detailed?
Hello Autismus, In 44 years I have never done that. Also I have never changed their motor oil either. Heh Just sayin'. Cleaning is not my responsibility. I am an upholsterer not a detailer. I have to keep things moving along as I am so busy, I never have a free minute. Please keep liking and watching!
Rudy do you have the same type video that uses welting instead of the french seam? I have a 1996 Dodge truck that has the welting instead of the french seam and I am a little intimidated... :) Thanks Phillip Hall
Fantastic work, it’s a crying shame that they didn’t put a new seat pad and cover in also. Seems very short sighted and penny pinching. You however did a fine job 👍
Hello The, I always give a customer what they want. In this case it was an old guy with an old work truck in East Texas. Now you know. Hehe. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Bams, Price depends mostly on the person doing the job and what they want to charge you. The geographic area, their experience, materials chosen, the design of the seat. You see, there is no usual price.
@@oldschoolautoupholstery I realize that. I just wondered what this particular job cost, just to give me an idea, I could not begin to guess what to charge.
@@bams50 Hello Bams, Just remember, this is a service. Much different than buying an item off of a Walmart shelf with a fixed price. Please see this video about pricing: th-cam.com/video/WOuzM5UPqM4/w-d-xo.html Please keep liking and watching!
Thanks, that looks great and Mrs Nipples is super cute. Do you have any videos on headliners or gluing the rubber around doors back on? I live in NM and it gets really hot. Idk what kind of glue to use ❤

Hello Eddie, I am sorry to say that I do not quote prices here because it will definitely be different from the quote you will get from someone in your area.

My 82 Nissan 280zx seats were made out of leather scraps bought by the pound from a furniture manufacturer. Boxes of scraps are just fine for seats. I bought black carpet and black leather for the seats then painted the plastic and vinyl dyed the other stuff. Tan was not pleasing. The only thing wrong was the top of the dash was cracked. I screwed up and bought a cover for that but did leather around the gauges. I should have put great stuff in the cracks and done the whole dash leather. Seats were fine but wrong color and not leather. One piece headliner because they are easy in a hatchback. new not dyed but if I remember right origional was in 4 cross sections. Drove it for 2 yrs then dumped it but a good paint job and it might have been worth something.

I gather that you believe that a fabric material seat is more durable than vinyl. Is this true? If it were your truck, what material would you use? Leather? What about a Harley Motorcycle seat?
Hello Kevin, All materials wear. Be it fabric, leather and vinyl. For a work truck vinyl would be best. I would only use vinyl for a motorcycle seat as leather does not do well in the elements and moisture. Please keep liking and watching!

I did one like this Wednesday. It’s hard to get this kind of fabric material but luckily I had some of a close match. You didn’t show fixing the cushion but I know how to do that. I noticed you sew around the pieces before you sew em together. I’ve never done that. Is it better or necessary? Sorry about Lucille 😢. Anyway, thanks for showing your sharp skills. Looking forward to meeting you one day !!😊
Hello Eddie, I do have other videos showing the foam repair. This was really about the seat cover repair. I have always sewn around the pieces, the only way I know. Lucille, I know huh? See ya! Please keep liking and watching!
Great video! I still don’t understand why you glue the sew foam then you sew around it? Thanks again for the video.

Great video! You make this look so easy. I´m making seat cushions for my boat and it´s a lot harder than it looks but I´m slowly making progress.. :) It´s really satisfying when you´ve finnished a cushion and you did it yourself.
Hello Johan, Yes, there is a great satisfaction when you work your way through a project. Please keep liking and watching!
Thank you for your videos. My side hustle is making bags so I work with vinyl a lot. I was asked if I could do car interiors and I didn’t even know how to answer. Here in Illinois it’s a 6-12 month wait to get upholstery done. I still have a lot to learn before I say yes, but I have learned a lot from your videos.

Excellent !
But I wanted to see how you fixed the foam cushion part that had been chiseled and worn away .. I'll look thru your other video's and search for foam shaping
Thanks for posting these vids ! .. One more thing , I heard you mention Texas in your posts .. I'm in Stagecoach ( near Houston ) and I'm wondering how close you are and if I might send some work your way .. Thanks again for your super helpful tips !

Did you do a video where you talking about where you source your materials from? Like, I can't just use cloth from HobbyLobby, it would need to be UV resistant at the very least right?
Almost wish the owner did keep it stock.
Hello Thetarr, For auto, you would want automotive fabrics. Just Google, "Upholstery supplier near me" That would have been a very short video... Hehe. I get my materials from Keyston Bros. They have several locations in the USA and they ship. Please keep liking and watching!

have question when a seat has porforated in the middle does it s has to be same material or can it be soild with no holes
Hello Arturo, Sometime the perforation is for heated or air conditioned seats. If not air conditioned, you can use either perforated or non-perforated vinyl or leather. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery thank you always good to get your advise make it so much easier to understand
@@arturosifuentes7506 Hello Arturo, Right On! Right on.
Mr. Richard, when the seat cover is apart do you think it's a good idea to throw it in washing machine for customer before reassembling it? Or is it best to leave it dirty and let them have it detailed?
Hello Autismus, In 44 years I have never done that. Also I have never changed their motor oil either. Heh Just sayin'. Cleaning is not my responsibility. I am an upholsterer not a detailer. I have to keep things moving along as I am so busy, I never have a free minute. Please keep liking and watching!

Rudy do you have the same type video that uses welting instead of the french seam? I have a 1996 Dodge truck that has the welting instead of the french seam and I am a little intimidated... :)

What did you spay it to the foam with ?
Hello Brian, I use a spray gun to apply the contact adhesive. Please keep liking and watching!
Fantastic work, it’s a crying shame that they didn’t put a new seat pad and cover in also. Seems very short sighted and penny pinching.
You however did a fine job 👍
Hello The, I always give a customer what they want. In this case it was an old guy with an old work truck in East Texas. Now you know. Hehe. Please keep liking and watching!
Definitely a common problem. Would you mind sharing what you charged for this job?
Hello Bams, Price depends mostly on the person doing the job and what they want to charge you. The geographic area, their experience, materials chosen, the design of the seat. You see, there is no usual price.
@@oldschoolautoupholstery I realize that. I just wondered what this particular job cost, just to give me an idea, I could not begin to guess what to charge.
@@bams50 Hello Bams, Just remember, this is a service. Much different than buying an item off of a Walmart shelf with a fixed price. Please see this video about pricing: th-cam.com/video/WOuzM5UPqM4/w-d-xo.html Please keep liking and watching!

How much does this repair typically cost, just labor?
Hello Eddie, I am sorry to say that I do not quote prices here because it will definitely be different from the quote you will get from someone in your area. It's not fair or accurate to you or any one who reads this. The best thing you can do is call someone in your area that does upholstery. Please keep liking and watching!
My 82 Nissan 280zx seats were made out of leather scraps bought by the pound from a furniture manufacturer. Boxes of scraps are just fine for seats. I bought black carpet and black leather for the seats then painted the plastic and vinyl dyed the other stuff. Tan was not pleasing. The only thing wrong was the top of the dash was cracked. I screwed up and bought a cover for that but did leather around the gauges. I should have put great stuff in the cracks and done the whole dash leather. Seats were fine but wrong color and not leather. One piece headliner because they are easy in a hatchback. new not dyed but if I remember right origional was in 4 cross sections. Drove it for 2 yrs then dumped it but a good paint job and it might have been worth something.

I gather that you believe that a fabric material seat is more durable than vinyl. Is this true? If it were your truck, what material would you use? Leather? What about a Harley Motorcycle seat?
Hello Kevin, All materials wear. Be it fabric, leather and vinyl. For a work truck vinyl would be best. I would only use vinyl for a motorcycle seat as leather does not do well in the elements and moisture. Please keep liking and watching!
