1916roadster Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I don't know where the pics went but will try again. I have finished the 17 roadster seat and moving on to door upholstery. Wondering what is correct for door panels. Pockets? No pockets? Snaps? Stitching pattern, fasteners? Any help or pictures would be appreciated. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Did you do the upholstery? If so, nice job! I'm planning to do mine and am practicing with an industrial sewing machine I purchased recently. The '25 seats have simple pleats so I think I have a reasonable chance of doing a decent job (never having done any sewing before). Where did you get the hides?

1916roadster Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I had a Mennonite carriage shop do the seat locally. I had nothing to start with and this seat was a bit elaborate for a first attempt. I can ask them who their leather supplier is if you like.

MikeC5 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Yes I agree the diamond tufted would be a stretch (so to speak) for a first ever attempt. If you don't mind asking them, I would appreciate it. Edited February 13, 2017 by MikeC5 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind asking them, I would appreciate it. They got the leather from Mel Draper PO Box 179 Jeromesville Ohio, 44840. (419) 368-3226. Mel also carries wooden bows and wooden wheels I think. The carriage shop likes using Mel because "good quality, dependable, reasonably priced". I found his phone # in this resource from Florida Carriage Club.
