Inspirational. I'm a newbie, (2 years into it) to auto upholstery and consider myself fairly good since the products I've completed for clients have gotten very good remarks. I'm not at your level yet, but I'm working on it. A couple of more years and more projects will get me to this level and I'm going to do this full time so I can quit the mechanical end of auto repairs. 40 years as a tech and I'm majorly burned out bad.

The upholstery job is definitely less messy than the under hood side....but we are the last to see the money... My old boss told me that with car restoration or custom works...that the customer will have usually gone over budget and that the light being near the end of the tunnel and they just wanna drive the car after the motor/tranny/body/paint stuff is done....they either want something just thrown together super fast or end up just tinting the windows and sitting on bad foam/springs/duct tape or sheepskin covers.... I do miss doing upholstery work. There was definitely a satisfaction of seeing something to its completion...but I am a perfectionist and was more of a "craftsman" than a business man and would often not be home on time and would see a lot of microwaved leftovers instead of warm food at the normal time.... But with the potential of being fired for misgendering someone... there is a skill that I can go back to if the fecal waste hits the turbine blades.... You'll have a different kinda messy when it comes to upholstery work...like convertibles that aren't garage kept and some of the nasty stuff that can collect in the rain rails and draining paths that can sometimes be similar to cleaning out a pipe under the sink.... But I do wish you well! I am often told it is art that isn't appreciated much and those that are good do well... I have 2 shops near where I live and the one doesn't do auto upholstery anymore and the other is closing up and retiring.....but the place I live is said to have people with deep pockets and short arms....it really causes people to work hard at spending good money on quality work. 😅🤣😂 I was told by my old boss that I COULD do something like "Interiors by Shannon"... (should find him on Google or Facebook) He focuses on just one car at a time and that way there isn't a whole lot of jumping from one project to the next... Another resource for auto upholstery communities is The Hog Ring. A group of auto upholstery guys on Facebook as well.

Excellent work! Just Beautiful, really good attention to detail. love the way you develop your flat patterns before stitching and then test fitting before final install. I am currently working of an armrest design that some may want to bring to you for custom covering. I am keeping that possibility in mind as I develop my design. Thank you for posting, very inspirational.

@apogeedesign4348 11 ай бұрын

It seems very nicely done. However I saw some wrinkles that you know very well would never be able to pass quality control for the factory OEM, like RECARO, on the Porsche for example. And as you said. Only practice makes this. But also to listen for constructive criticism from people that are in the upholstery business too. Wrinkles like that might be ok on a LADA or a VOLGA but not on this western high quality cars. Thank you for sharing your passion and awesome work.

You can try 3 D scanning the seat and then design your own cut outs, could give you more design freedom

it can be much more practical and convenience if you use the old seat cover as a mould, copy and paste. save your time a lot. hope it helps!
