Learn How To Reupholster Your Car Headrests in 20 Minutes 

Hello mate thank you for your comments. Yes top stitch is a little tricky and depends also on machine used .

@@CallMyReg I'm using a standard flat walking foot machine but the machine you use looks alot easier on the tricky bits I struggle with on mine so I may look into another machine. I've subscribe and look forward to more video. Thanks again

Shaun hi Shaun I worked on this type of machine for 18 years it’s called a post machine and they are mostly used for making shoes and boots but if you can use one you can make almost anything with them

@@CallMyReg hi a great job but why didn't put a foam on leather?

Cirlig Dima hello thank you for comments, the job did not need any foam on leather the head rest foam itself was clean and cushioned enough.

Hello mate thank you for your question, if you were close by il invite you over and il show you it’s not to difficult , I would like to show you by video by have not had the time lately to do anything new Regards Tony

@@CallMyReg Hi thanks for replying, it would be great if you could do a video, I can not find any video or info anywhere on the type of headrests i have, The metal bits don't come out and the original vinyl that is on there seems to be bonded to the foam inside so i'm thinking i just have to make a leather cover and leave the old vinyl inside ?? but i just can't figure out how to go about it. i am a furniture upholsterer by the way. cheers

Marcus O'Farrell hello mate I will do you a video in a couple of weeks, and yes if your head rest cover is bonded to the foam then yes you make a cover and leave original in place .

@@CallMyReg Ahh yes ok, brilliant ! thank you !! I will keep my eyes peeled for the vid

That’s the only way just keep trying and you’ll get there😀

@@CallMyReg After about 5 attempts I finally came out with something decent. At that rate, It would take a full working week just to complete the seats. So I decided to buy a pair of pre-made covers that I'll fit. High praise to you! What you do is a highly skilled art.

@@jacobfalk4827 thank you

Hello and thank you for your comments This video was just demonstrating purpose We used Vynl on the main body and sides and the piping on the edge was also Vynl with a plastic cord inside .

Hello friend . England

Hello mate , the inner cord is 5 Mm diameter cord and wrapped in 1 Mm Vynl creating an exposed 7 mm bead Regards Tony

@@CallMyReg thank you

Hello mate thank you for your comments. Are you referring to the same head rest?

Hello thank you for contact and comments, A 1986 Camaro front and back seats?

Hello mate the price for labour to reupholster if they are front and back would be £1700 And would need 3 week turnaround Regards Tony Regards

@@CallMyReg are you in London sir

@@lamarcraven2314 hello mate we are in Romford Essex

Hello mate thank you for watching and for your question writhing next few weeks there will be another Just been very busy on other projects.

Hello mate I just made it in Vinyl for demonstration purposes although you can reupholster your seats in vinyl if you wish, Upholstery grade vinyl you should look for

Hello mate I just made it in Vinyl for demonstration purposes although you can reupholster your seats in vinyl if you wish, Upholstery grade vinyl you should look for, Faux leather is perfectly ok too. Regards Tony

Call My Reg thanks for getting back to me, and so quickly too! Yeah was just worried about how faux leather would last and especially during the summers too! I will definitely give it a go though now you’ve said it should be okay! Thanks man! Nice work

Sebastian George faux leather works just as well as long as you don’t leave them in the sun for long periods of time , Real leather hides are better they can be treated with hide food and can last a lifetime if looked after.

Call My Reg ahh brill, thank you. I think I will go for the faux leather. When you say long periods of time, is that like leaving it abandoned in the sun and not moving it or is general everyday sun okay for it? It will be for a daily driver but I’m a bit concerned about the summer coming around and shrinking the seats?

Hello , sorry which plastic tool?

@@CallMyReg that look like piping

@@خليفةمؤمن-ظ7ع hello , if you mean the cord that is wrapped in black Vynl round the sides It’s called piping cord

@@CallMyReg thanks I sent it to Facebook please check your message

Delta Johnny Thank you Johnny for your comments.

Hello mate The machine is a singer post machine it was designed to stitch shoes and boots . Regards Tony

Hello mate , you can contact m ex on 07973223863 Regards Tony

This type of vids is so boring without music

Knowledge Gangsta hello mate and thank you for your comments. The conventional sewing machine for upholstery is a walking foot however I’ve been working on a singer post machine for 36 years which are designed for making shoes and boots which I was doing for 20 years So if you get to know a machine you can do most anything with it .

Hello and thank you for your opinion Firstly this is just a quick demo of trimming a head rest However in all the years we have been trimming we have trimmed circles as you call them and reinforced others also We have taken many hundreds of interiors apart but have never come across abused head rests or seen them split or torn from those s positions Trimmed hundreds of leather ones and left them as in this demo and with circles and have never had any returned for this problem. Regards Tony

Hello mate thank you for your question. But you are best to judge the machine you have and your ability to make purses , If you see the machine I use here in the video I can make virtually anything with it. I hope this helps If you would like to visit and try yourself on our machine you are welcome Regards Tony
