Tuck and roll vinyl upholstery.
Jun 8 2014 old school leather roll and pleat style auto upholstery common on higher optioned classic cars sold in the 40 s 50 s.
Making the seat covers this is called tuck roll the vinyl is cut into 2 strips and seamed then the muslin is sewn to the flaps after being marked at narrower intervals to create the pockets.
Yes cotton tuck and roll can be a lot of material to handle.
4 inch flutes heat sealed with foam padding to create a strong durable fluting effect.
Just like you would see in your favorite classic car.
I see your channel tins in that picture and they look great.
Laying out the new pattern kind of a check on the correctness of the old original seat cover might have stretched or shrunk.
I have so say it is really really satisfying to see you guys using this method and seeing that my videos worked.
Perfect for cars and even used as wall panelling and other upholstery projects.
