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!

YES! I've been watching your vids for a while now for this exact reason. So far, I've reupholstered the saddles on three bikes...and all three were STOLEN almost immediately thereafter. True story.
Must mean you did something right... 😉

Nice work!
Hero!
And so that when it comes to putting the leather cover on the back of the car so that the leather is more manageable and softer, it can be heated and thus it fits better
thank you
Excelente trabajo, esos trabajos me cuestan bastante porque todo es muy reducido pero usted , un maestro !!! De paso le consulto en ocasiones usted usa adhesivo de contacto con un pincel, como se oyede hacer para que el pincel no se seque, usa algún producto ? Saludos
Las cerdas del pincel son ligeramente duras y son los mismos pinceles que se usa para pintar al óleo. Para mantenerlo limpio, despues de aplicar el pegamento amarillo, hay que limpiarlo con un pedazo de tela o vinil y luego colocarlo en un frasco de vidrio que tenga thinner o acetona.
Este minuto del video nos da una idea al respecto:ua-cam.com/video/8_nh0DctARg/v-deo.html
Un cordial saludo colega Miguel.
@@Cechaflo a bien muchas gracias por el dato... saludos colega , un abrazo!!
Simplemente espectacular! 😍😍😍 Siempre había pensado que tapizar un asiento de este estilo, con el agujero en el centro, sería difícil, y de hecho lo es, pero siguiendo sus pasos, tan impecablemente bien explicados, hasta me atrevería a intentarlo 😉😉
Eso sí, tendría que usar un vinilo parecido al suyo, que fuese bastante maleable, para poderlo acomodarlo mejor a la hora de poner las grapas, y siempre se podría calentar con un poco de cuidado con una pistola de calor para ayudarle a acoplarse 😅😅
Muchas gracias por otro gran vídeo! 👏👏
¡Nos da mucho gusto que estos videos lo inspiren y animen a realizar sus proyectos!
Dice un dicho popular en México: ¡Pensamiento y acción!
@@Cechaflo muchas gracias de nuevo! 😉😉
@@deltajohnny Muchas gracias por esos buenos comentarios que nos animan a seguir subiendo videos. Todavía falta mucho que estudiar. En cualquier momentos haremos videos de pisos de carro en real, asi como simulados en maqueta y reales de los techos/cielos colgantes del VW y otros carros antiguos. También los modernos de cartón o fibra de vidrio aplicando pegamento con pistola y compresora.
Çok güzel
Nice job, but is it cost effective, especially when there is a need of an industrial sewing machine.
The Italians got nothing on Cesar! 👍
Good morning, very good morning. Great videos. I'm learning a lot. I would like to know if in leather upholstery it is necessary to reduce the leather to sew it, especially in covers and cushions thank you very much for your videos a greeting from Spain
Sometimes it is necessary to skive the leather to give a nice look. Leather is skived for car dashboards, consoles, door panels, etc. Other particular items such as wallets, bags, et. In the case of car/motorcycle covers it is not advisable because the seams weaken.
The small bent nose pliers for pulling staples, where can I purchase? This is an excellent video.

What size staples do you use in something like this. Im doing my sons seat and its so small i think i need to go with 1/4" deep, but i dont know if that will be deep enough to hold
I used a 3/32" high. It is enough for bike seats.
What if I need to make a new one. Without having an old one to create a template with?
Tendría que sacar moldes en papel de molde, cartulina, vinil, etc. El resultado quedaría mucho mejor, porque muchas veces los moldes viejos estan distorsionados.
I’m a new subscriber to your channel. What is the small marker you are using? It leaves a fine white line. I’ll be trying to make your notching tool. Do you have any other fine tools you have made? Thanks I really enjoy your fine teaching channel.
Hi, glad to see you find these videos useful. I used to mark with sharpened waxed pencils and still do. Shoemakers here in Mexico use a lot of silver leather marking pen refills. I find it useful on dark materials like vinyl or leather.

Here is a playlist with most items we did, we have also done some handmade pressert feets, sewing machine attachments and seat modifications but thats another category.
