First time attempt a sewing vinyl seats

[Woodonglass]

The pile is growing. I still need to work on getting some pics of the process or a video up. I keep forgetting to do so.

The bucket seat was hell, especially with the old vinyl falling apart so I had only a partial pattern to work off of. I will have to get up some pics of my shame. I don't have time to redo it for this summer, but it will be worked on in the fall.

 

[Woodonglass]

Well, from this distance they look FANTASTIC!!!

 

[Corjen1]

Had a chance to work on the seats today. Made a little progress. I'm finally can see the end of the tunnel. 1 arm rest and 2 seat cushions left before I can start showing seats in the boat.


todays progress. The L shaped one gave me a bunch of trouble but came out ok in the end.

I have to come clean. I made a pillow in 7th grade home economics class. I believe that was about 30 years ago.

On another note, finished the seat cushion that goes with the L seat and another arm rest today. I forgot to take pics, sorry. I will get some up tomorrow. That leaves me with one seat cushion to go. I thought I was going to get that done today but the cushion from the L seat took me 4 hours to do. What a pita.

Thanks all for the positive comments.

Pics of the last of my seats. I have one sun pad to recover then I'm done. I will soon have pics of seats in the boat.

 

[Corjen1]

I cant wait to see it all in the boat!!

 

[silveraire]

So I just realized that I never posted finished pics of the interior. I've been to busy boating. Here are a few I pics I have. I will get better pics next time I'm down at the marina. Thanks everyone for all the help and encouragement.

What's your address? Ill mail you the templates for my seats

Outstanding work! I always thought upholstery was a black art, but those cushions look great.

 

[bajaunderground]

Very clean and IMHO better than some shop's work I've seen!!

 

[kcassells]

Wow oh wow...Nice work there.

 

[bruceb58]

Very nice.

 

[gm280]

Oh yea those are very nice indeed. Some folks have the knack and skill-set to follow it up. However, I bet you can't do my seat cushion. Prove it. :facepalm:
