This video shows a simple way of reupholstering a headrest in vinyl material. As we can see, it has been assembled in three pieces: One main central panel and two smaller side panels. To join the pieces I have used the 'upholstery basic blind sewing'. To 'close' the 'bottom opening of the cover' I have used 'velcro' as a handy option.
It is important to realize for an easier sewing procedure the 'rounded side pieces' were put flat over the sewing machine table and the 'straight edge' of 'main single panel' was manipulated/sewn over them.
I hope you find some useful information on this video!

Absolutely superb precision... it's really admirable 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As always, i really appreciate your kind remarks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your expertise with everyone!
Stapling the top/bottom are going to help me a TON! I might even make a little seam guide like the one you have on your machine.
I can’t believe the skill you have. I have the patterns right in front of me and I still can’t do what you’re doing.
Your quickly mark masking tape more you work good 👍
Your work is phenomenal
Such precision..never any wrinkles
From Indonesia : nice tutorial brother thanks
Tes again.. I love your way of sharing your method .. great and usefull video..
I take the old skin off and use it as a pattern. Thank you for giving tips on doing it from scratch.
Most of the times old covers are somehow useful as templates provided they are in good condition. Anyways, old covers are not trustable 100%
I agree !
Nice of you to add the extra stitch in for strength even though the customer can’t see it.
In fact, it is not really to add strength. The extra stitch all around the edge keep the seams edges together and helps to fold/line up them over towards the central panel in order to get a nicer view on top. I could have glued them together too.
Thanks for watching the video!
Amazing craftsmanship
Meraviglioso!

with all respect to Cechaflo and i know that you are professional but you can use transparent tape it will be very easy to make pattern and take this one we have to check the model of the car so we can keep it for another time
Hello, you are right, there is no specific way to make patterns.
Some master trimmers at the Hog ring forum state different ways of making patterns:
(Transcription from the forum)
Jason DePinto
Been wondering how everyone prefers to pattern their pieces. In school, they taught us to draw lines on the seat, then pin or glue scrap vinyl down. Then go around peeling up the vinyl and transferring the line underneath. This is how I've always done it. I've seen some people use clear vinyl, even someone who puts down masking tape, draws lines, cuts the tape on the lines, and adds the selvedge.
What's your preferred method?
Wayne Munro
I was taught to pin the material to the seat and chalk on the edge or crown of a curve (be sure to add your alinement marks). Add your selvedge and cut it out.
Eric Gordon
I find template patterning material works best. It's available on 6 ft x 100 yard rolls. Its somewhat clear but doesn't stretch or distort . Use a light mist adhesive to hold. I draw guide lines and designs on it with a china marker . The pattern can be saved for future projects.
Clinton Morton
I’ve always used that template perfect that doesn’t stretch but have since moved to the light gauge clear plastic and like that best.
Phillip Aldridge
Self taught here, but I learned to do it the way Wayne described. I put pins in the panels and make my pattern that way, especially for the custom jobs I get from time to time.
Cesar
Normally, by using a pen, I first draw the required design on the cushion foam. The patterns I would get would be with the real measures I already marked on the foam. I use two ways of patterning. One is by using 'stationery cardboard' in case of '2D flat designs', but if I have to pattern '3D irregular designs' I'd rather use 'stretchy vinyl'.
In both cases to keep them steady attached to the foam I use upholstery pins or some points of yellow glue. All of the patterns should match one in front of the other and I should not forget to mark where is necessary the 'alignment marks or notches'.
Why do I use 'stretchy vinyl' as a second option?
I use it in case of rounded areas, so I could stretch a little the material and pin there to not let it move. At the time of sewing procedure, I would stretch the material a little to make the 'notches' meet one in front of the other.
After having these 'real measures molds', is time to transfer them to 'real material (vinyl, leather, fabric, etc.)' not forgetting to add the 'seam allowance' that could be no less than 1 cm or 1/2 of an inch.
If i want to preserve these mold for similar jobs, I could transfer them to a 'thicker cardboard or thin sheet of metal'.
If more sophisticated, in case of laser cutting machines, I would transfer them to a computer.
I also have used in the past, the way of attaching the material to the seat by using upholstery pins and, directly mark with a tailor chalk or waxed pencil on the material giving it the required seam allowance. This method is valid but not so precise.
Michael McKean
I mark out the desired design on the foam and then pin clear vinyl on. My wife gets specials and coupons emailed to her from Joann fabrics. Every few weeks she'll get one for 60 or 75 % off 1 item. I'll use that and buy a whole role. Comes out much cheaper than any of my suppliers
Jason DePinto
Great comments here! Thanks for weighing in with your favorite techniques!
Jan Pokorny
I use a transparent plastic foils in which suppliers send me the material - it works well, it's thin so it can be archived in office files ... and it's free, I don't have to buy it anywhere (and I recycle - I save nature ;-) )
Michael cullen
I use calico usually depending on the job but you guys have given me some extra ideas
a year ago
Naseem Muaddi
I use the actual material I'm upholstering the seat with and pin it on the very edges but if I need to pin the material anywhere other than on the selvage I'll use scrap vinyl for patterning.
a year ago
Jean Luc Chanay
I use differents material/methode, depending on what I have to pattern.
On motorcycle seats, I generaly use tape to save time.
On car seats, I use transparent plastic that I lighttly glue to hold.
I use calico on convertible top.

Adam Gabriel
typically buy a huge roll of 4mil plastic from lowes or home depot. works good for patterning wide carpets for boats (over 10' beams)

Andy Laird
Ditto the plastic. I actually do 95% of my patterning with 1.5mil clear plastic. I know it's not for everyone but it works well for me. If anyone is interested I'll do a how to pattern with plastic. Just let me know.

I've been trying to learn how to pattern from scratch and im having having a very hard time. I've tried different materials and techniques and maybe I'm making it harder than it should be but i just can't seem to get the results I'm looking for. My problem areas are anything round lol. I feel so confident each time I start and then things just start to spiral out of control. Would someone be willing to break this down even farther for me?

Eric Gordon
↪Garrett Bateman Sure Garrett, I'd be happy to help. I generally use template pattern plastic. Lightly glue in place, mark the sewing seam with a china marker, make guide marks to align the insert / bolster with the facing. Allow 3/8" for sewing when transferring onto material . If you can explain where you are running into problems , I can address that issue.

Joel W Larkin
You can also use screen material like you having your windows or screen door. Put black marker lines to design you want spray some of the Kingston tack glue and lay it on their .stretches fine looks good you could transfer the lines and patterns . Very workable
Steve Ingram
↪Garrett Bateman Garrett, I would be happy to help with any questions. it could be something you are doing in cutting or sewing the actual cover also.

↪Andy Laird Did you ever post a how to pattern with plastic?
6 months ago
Andy Laird
↪Lisa Keatley Sorry I have not done that yet. I'll see if I can work that in soon, I've just been super busy.
I noticed you added foam to the headrest, is it 5mm? I’m struggling with headrests right now but I add foam to big piece. I think it is easier to do like you did. Can you make video on how you add foam?
MAESTRO!
Super man
Thanks for kind remarks!
What size and brand are those scissors your using? They seem perfect for smaller cuts like your doing
I bought those scissors from a local store here in Mexico. I would recommend you the Solingen scissors made in Germany.
Muy bonito trabajo gracias por compartir sus conocimientos una pregunta mestro que maquina utiliza para costurar modelo

Thanks for watching and suggestion!
Hi buddy love the videos big fan .. have you got any info on fitting brass eyelets to a car seat project .. i am doing a set of ford gt40 seats and behind the eyelets on the car seat how would you hide the sponge from being seen in the seat behind the eylets and i am using a hole punch to cut the holes but i have a top stitch going through the eyelet will putting a hole in the top stitch loosen the stitch many thanks
Hello, Please, watch this video that shows how to fit a brass eyelet: ruclips.net/video/bA2WvPEY7M4/видео.html&feature=emb_logo
If you directly cut the top stitch by doing the hole it would loosen. Before doing the hole draw a circle same diameter of the punch and secure the thread ends by hand sewing.
Hope it helps.
Excelent
Thanks for appreciating this job!
So, what if the headrest has a hole in the middle, like many cars from the 90‘s? Do you close the inner seam by hand, like on a steering wheel? Or is it more appropriate to stich the outer seam by hand because of better accessibility despite it being longer and more visible?
Many of these headrests with holes in the middle have a crevice all around where the vinyl or leather edges are pushed into. To get firmness of the edges a narrow strip of plastic is sewn down together.
The way you are mentioning is also valid in case of not having the crevice. It would be much better to do the sewing on the inside which is less visible. Both methods can be used as it is shown in these videos:
ruclips.net/video/NMYlCg1HC48/видео.html ruclips.net/video/NMYlCg1HC48/видео.html
Thanks a lot for the answer! No, no crevice unfortunately. So the hard way for me it seems. Thank god I‘m charging myself not by the hour 😁.

Do you need an industrial sewing machine for this or could you use a normal one with proper technique?
A regular sewing machine can do this job, but with some limitations. An industrial walking foot, triple transport sewing machine would make the job easier.
👍👍👍👍👍
♥♥♥
Does anyone know how to replace the plastic part that headrest goes into? Can it be done? Find the part in the junkyard and put it back in I hope..
Sir ok
Todo megusta pero lomejor es la.pasiencia suert
💪👍
Is it diferrent size for each car?
Car headrests are different size depending on the car brand.
What kind of sewing machine it's that?
Pfaff 1245-706 walking foot (triple transport) sewin machine.

I dont understand how this workes out.
The pattern is marked and sewn on the inside of fabric, how and why is it not reversed?
Patterns can be marked on the inside of vinyl using a regular pen. But, at time of assembling/sewing parts in case of bolsters the one I marked on the left side corresponds to right side because are similar in shape. The same happens with headrest, the left edge seam is twin of right edge seam.
Quanto custa essa macna industrial que o senhor usa ?
This machine is used (40 years approx.) It costs approx. 700 to 800 US dollars.
