Default Sewing torn pulled apart seats

As you can see below my seat were in pretty horrible shape and in an attempt to keep costs down I removed the seats(s) and used a shoe sole needle and thread to sew them back up.

I think if I have watched more Youtube videos I would have had a better outcome but, for as easy as this is, it might be worth doing if you're strapped for cash and/or don't have access to a donor truck.

The hardest part is having to use vise grips to push the needle through. Also don't loop the thread over the end of both pieces of fabric go in and out. Keep flipping your work over to make sure your penetration points down stray one way or the other too much.

Again.... not some of my best work but in a pinch...not a bad solution...
