How to Reupholster a Bike Seat - Upholstery for beginers

✅Get our courses at: https://www.cechaflo.com ------------------------------------- This time I want to share some steps and tricks I have followed to reupholster a bike seat with the same design. For this purpose I have used automotive vinyl in black and purple. I have used the old cover to make the templates to mark and cut the vinyl material. As shown the half side is the same measure for the other half side. I really do not trust old seat covers, because most of them are stretched and distorted. I would rather make new templates in cardstock or cheap vinyl. Short stitches 3 mm long with white thread size 92 were used for top stitching. A 110=18 needle size is advisable for this thread size. One of the tricks that helps a lot to make the double stitches is the use of yellow glue to fold the seam lips to the sides. It is advisable to let the glue thoroughly dry, otherwise the needle thread could get stuck. I hope you find some inspiration in this video to make your own upholstery projects! Cesar
