How To Upholster A Car Bench Seat
If you’re looking to upholster a car bench seat, there’s a few things you’ll need before getting started. You’ll need some fabric, a seam ripper, an iron and ironing board, and an adhesive. The first step is to find the measurements of the bench seat. Next, you’ll want to cut out your fabric piece based on those measurements. Once you have the fabric piece cut out, it’s time to start sewing! Start by sewing the bottom of the fabric piece to the base of the bench seat. Then go up one side of the fabric and sew to meet the bottom of the other side of the fabric. Leave a 1-inch opening at both ends so you can turn your piece right-side out when finished. Finally, iron your seam closed and make sure your opening is aligned correctly. Now it’s time to attach your fabric piece to the base of the bench seat using an adhesive. Apply pressure evenly across all areas until glue is dry. Turn your piece right-side out again and enjoy your new upholstered bench seat!
