Attention !
For begginers or for more precise work,
just remove your old seats upholstery and unsew everything into pieces, so then you will have a completely precise pattern for your car seats. Then at the pattern you can design custom upholstery designs, and then you just have a little more job because it's custom design but if you want to change just fabric of seats this way it's a lot easier.

it's great to have skill... it is AWESOME when someone can pass that skill along... Cato is a great coach

[danielsprenkle]

This probably one of the best videos on building a seat from scratch. I love it.

[jabbiekamara]

What I appreciated most is that am in sierra leone feeling like am right in USA learning upholstery. Thank you guys am dearly developing with you a spectacular skill.

That long arm industrial sewing machine and extended table is the tricky part.

I have been making my own seat covers for my motorcycle a few times now and it's basically just basic pleats and connections. Really would like to try making one for my car. Learned a lot of tricks from this video! Great job!

[professorgt]

Awesome work guys! Just started tinkering with a sewing machine. I want to learn how to do this stuff so that I can reupholster my dream car, that after waiting over 40 years I finally acquired last year! Need to schedule taking your next class for sure!

Nice work on the seat. I just finished the class today in Salt Lake City at Cato's new shop. It's definitely a workout.

I do my own upholstery my mother was a Seamstress and her old machines were used a little improperly but they they worked until I could afford the proper machine seeing people learn this trade is fantastic! I like restoring classic Cars have learned a lot from You Tube channels too! Keep Learning!

Watching him on that show on motor trend, with joe, and his wife snd shorty, that's cool that he has this!

Been in the upholstery business 46 years. Cato does great work! Watched a lot on Iron Resurrection. I would like to see a how to video on leather wrapping and stitching a steering wheel. .

[ndavr]

I was taught never to glue leather to foam and never to glue the cover to the seat foam.

Just bought a Lotus Europa, and need to reupholster the seats. This is so helpful - even if I buy the covers the assembly tuition is going to be so handy to refer to.

i did upholstery at a boat factory, then did custom boat upholstery. hard part is to learn to stitch straight. now i learned how to build a shoe/boot from scratch with 360 welts. i messed up a lot of shoes and boots before i made something worth wearing. glad i used cheap leathers. humans have the fastest muscle memory, we learn fast.

[matthewholmes]

That's what we need, you guys teach so amazing...thank you

[pauleyedwin]

Always love to see pattern/build/stitching videos.
