Anyone know how to upholster seats? I'm interested in learning how to do upholstery so that i can restore interiors and that kind of stuff. I was just wondering if anybody knows how, or if anybody knows someone that knows how, and you could let me know how to go about learning. My local college has classes, but i think it's mostly for furniture. I don't know if it follows the same concept or not. Very interested, and any help would be great!

I've seen it done once before and it takes a lot of patience and knowledge of how the stitching and seams flow together to make the whole project look OEM. It isn't like furniture in the sense that you can not staple the edging to the bottom of the seat, rather you have to use some type of elastic to hug the underside of the project for removal purposes.
