Sewing of car seat is something very simple in which if you determine to do it, you can do it although is somehow stressfull because of bending down to do everything and you will end up having waist pain.

Let get to the process
Before then i will love to list some of the material i used.

  • new leather
  • sewing machine
  • star and flat screwdriver
  • pliers
  • scissors
  • clips
