reupholster seating

Post by marshmallow15 »

hey guys. i'm reupholstering my seats when i buy the material. i wanted to use suede for the inserts and i wanted to use neoprene for the outer part, but there's no fabric stores here that sell it....any suggestions on what would look and feel good with a suede insert?<P>the way i'm going about it is by ripping the seat covers off *not literally* and de-stitching each piece, tracing it onto the new material, cutting it out, sowing it together, and putting the new cover on the seat. is there an easier way to do this?
