well ive taken apart the front seats that i wanted re-trimming.

im cheating, but work will be done by the mother-in-law, who was a seamstress for many years.

now, il be cutting and copying the shapes of the old material and sewing where needed.

only thing that concerns me, is how on earth am i meant to get the newmaterial over the seat frame???

as i had to tear the stiching apart in place to get it off

any tips appreciated

This is exactly what I am going to do with my bm seats, I want suede middles, my wife is handy with the old sewing machine. So I would like to know the answer, unless Sharon already knows and hasn't told me. I will ask tomorrow and let you know either way!
