Andy has done a brilliant job on these seats. This was done for my X1/9. When I collected them I was massively impressed with the finished job to say the least ! It's really interesting to see how much work has gone into retrimming these seats - meliculously recreating each fabric panel. I'm glad that the original stripes have been integrated so well into the new fabric. Again Andy has downplayed the condition of the original seat fabric - faded and sad looking ! They've clearly been restored to better than when they were new. The video presentation is really good too - really clear what is being done, the less interesting bits sped up. Thank you very much Andy for another brilliant job !!
Great job saving the deckchair stripes, very much part of the early X 1/9 identity. Whats the cutting tool you use for the cloth, not something ive seen before?
Very nice job, looked ok with the stripes in the end. How do you avoid wrinkles/bumps on the curves of the bolsters, probably not much of a problem with fabrics and after watching your other videos I felt inspired to have a go myself with vinyl on a couple of old van seats and ended up with wrinkles/bumps on the front of seat bolster curves. Is there a way to avoid this. Steam didn't help much. Thanks
So when patterning, should make the patterns a bit smaller? I am going to take one of the seat covers off that I made and have another go. Thank you for sharing the info
Yes when making seat covers from any material that has stretch you have to make allowances for the stretch. if you took the original covers apart and made your patterns from them, and they were fabric then you need to make the patterns smaller. not sure if you have watched the video on patterning a seat?

Thanks for your great comment. I was glade to work on your seats. It is always good to be challenged ,
that looks fantastic. using the old stripes gives them a bit of patina so they don't look too shiny and new.
sure dose
Great work master👍
Thanks
Nice job 👍🏼

With vinyl you should make the panels a bit smaller on the curves and the stretch will sort out the problem that you are having

@@edsjenk6150 also make sure the stretch in the vinyl is oriented the right way.
