Fack.up

It just needs to be restitched, right? It certainly doesn't look like a big job, does it?

When the fabric is torn like this it needs to be completely replaced. In this case I patterned two panels in a similar silver vinyl (I match as closely as possible but I can never get the same material the manufacturer used!)

There's also a lot more happening under that skin than most folks realize; There are listing tabs, hook & loop (that often needs to be reglued to the foam,) and about a billion staples. If the foam is saturated I make sure it's completely dry before remounting the vinyl. This seat also had a fun challenge of replacing the rivet that held the strap to the base (I used a stainless bolt and nut.) And there's a bit of skill required to match up the topstitching, making sure the old stitching doesn't unravel, make the old and new look seamless, and get it back on the base (like literally a billion staples!)

I take a lot of pride in helping folks get more time and enjoyment out of their items.

Updated this dinette seating from a 1994 Regal 272 Commodore - hopefully we'll get to the bolsters next!
