Needlework: changing the color of a Lexus to something more beautiful

Hello everyone

Virtual greeting to everyone, how are you all doing today, I hope you all are doing great and if you ask about me I am doing great.
It is always a thing of joy to me to share more of my experience on car upholstery. Car is something commonly used all over the world be any one and without car movement will be hard. Meanwhile you need to keep the car interior neat and presentable.

I love sharing post on car upholstery because it make everyone have a pre- knowledge on how a car seat can be turn new instead of buying a new one.
Like the on I am doing today, you cannot see any Lexus that have this color has carry come un less it is being sew and if not be told you will just assumed that is follow come seat. And many people don't know seat can be sew back to original without taking it back to the company. I really enjoy my skill because it is amazing.

Take a look at this finished sew seat done by me

Here was the seat before

This is really beautiful.
When the owner brought this seat to my shop, he said I want you to work on this seat for me and I need a different colour from the original colour that will really look mature and beautiful
So has a seat design I promise Him not worrying I will give him a colour he will love even is friend will love the colour too and I choose the colour for him.
When I show him the new leather I am going to use he really love it and he feels so happy to the extend he add more money to use and do the work. Wow 😲😲.
He is so happy about the progress of the work and I know someone here will love this colour combinations and will really want to make use of it.

I love breaking down how I do my work come real for the benefits of you guys to learn from me.

The seat was cover before and the person sew it straight and cover the design of the seat which is the beauty of the seat but I have bring back the beauty.

Firstly I loose the seat from the car to my shop and then loose the man seat from the back seat with the help of some spanners.

There after I then use a sewing tape to take the vertical and the horizontal distance of each joining on the old seat which will help be to shape It get my new pattern

Here are the two leathers I am using for this project

I then transfer the measure length of each pattern to the new leather

Finally use scissors ✂️ to cut them out following the line I draw on the new leather.

Since I have the pattern already, I then place this old pattern on the new leather to form the new pattern

After I gum the pattern to a roof material to make it stronger and smooth.

Finally cut it out for sewing process, that simple means my pattern are ready to be join together using sewing machine.

I then carefully use a sewing machine to join those pattern together to form my new seat cover

Done sewing it

I then clip the new seat cover to the old seat. See photo below

After clipping it I then cover the entire seat. Here is the outcome

I follow the same process to cover the main seat. Here is the photo of both of them

Finally I tight them back has I loose

The seat are two front and two back so I and just done with the two front.

Still working on the back side before next week I should be done and I will update you guys with the completion of the project. Hope you will love to see the finally work.
