Re: seat recovering

This is how I did mine. It is a copy of the original but I used different vinyl and different color. Stiched it myself.

Re: seat recovering

So what is the main color of your interior?? You could do the seat cover in that color with a orange welt cord at the seams, or you instead of welt cord you could do a saddle stitch at the seams using orange thread. I do upholstery on the side, and it can be like paint at times your choices can be endless.
