This video shows one way to replicate square channels which come on the classic English car Rover P6 3500 1974 seats.
I have a customer that complains about his owncar seats. He says they are too hard while he is sitting on. To solve this issue, I am testing on this sample a durable high resielence foam. This foam acts as a spring because it recuperates its shape instantly and would last forever. The most important characteristic it is soft enough.
Memory Eva foam would have worked much better to shape the square pleats, but somehow this padding is rigid for long trips.
The foam I am using is 1/2" of an inch thick. To ease the sewing process the cut foam strips are tufted after the cover is finished.
For this demonstration I am using natural automotive leather.
An important tip to stand out is how I inserted in an opening I did in the foam base a 4 mm thick steel wire. A thinner steel wire is housed in a listing bag sewn down on reverse side of the cover. It is hogringed to this thick wire to pull the material downwards and give a curved shape on top view.
The original Rover seats come with fabric strips that cross down through and are fastened to the seat frame. This is a furniture method. Sometimes, it is not advisable on car seats because these pulling strips are suffering tension constantly.
I hope you enjoy and find this video useful!
