DIY on how to sew an old Hilux car seat to a new one.
How are you all doing today? I hope you all are doing pretty good. Here we go again, today I am sharing with you guys another clean work I did. It is all about the upholstery of an old Hilux seat to a new one.
The finished work looks so amazing, well I must say I am trying my best. Check this out.
Finish work
Before
Comparing the seats, you will see the difference and finish work to speak out the results.
This seat is a Hilux seat given to me by my customer. He said the seat belonged to his friend, after seeing my work it was moved to work his own and I have tried my best, so what can you say about it?
I would love to share with guys some steps I follow to make it come real and if you have followed up on my last post you will discover I use the same step to do my upholstery work and the only difference is the material and the design of the seat.
Let's get started
To begin the process, I first loose the seat separate from the back for easy upholstery to the hidden part of the seat. The seats are two but I will use one to illustrate my steps.
After losing it, I then use tape to measure the length of each pattern of the seat and then write it down.
I then went to the market to get a new leather I am using for the work. Here I am using both fabric and leather. See the photo below.
I then transfer the measurements to the new leather marking the measurements and drawing a line to connect each point.
I then cut them out.
After cutting it out, I then place it on a roof material, gum it together, and finally cut it how for the sewing process.
I then use a sewing machine to join each pattern together, making sure all the points entered have marks. I use the old seat to check what the pattern looks like since we are not changing the design.
Here, I have finished sewing the seat, and is ready to be covered on the old seat.
With the help of a pliar, I clip the new sew seat cover to the old seat.
After clipping it, I then make sure I cover the other part of the seat, huck it where it's supposed to be, and here is the outcome of it.
Finally, I tightened the seat as I loose it carefully, and here is the final work.
What can you say about it? Hope it looks beautiful and I also think you love the color combination.
Thanks everyone for your time.
