The Upholstery Forum

Hi everybody, I'm Alex from Ukraine, I wanna introduce my sewing handmade craft of shift knob for my car, it's my first attempt to improve it

That looks great!

Welcome to the forum @Alex Harkov That's a fantastic outcome for you first time. It looks great!

Thank you a lot for so highing mark of my outcome!

I wish I could do that well on my first time! Great work.

Hello, if you want I will send for you all steps of this work for upgrading shift knob and i think that you will get even better result than my

Never hurts to show how the process is done. Other will come across this as they join the site and can always learn!

@Alex Harkov That would be awesome if you posted your process for everyone to learn from!

Yes sure, I will prepare all process with describing each step, and for me it is good chance for practicing English language

I like the cling wrap and tape idea! Never heard of it before but I can see me using it! Also, don’t worry about your english. I’m learning German I know the feeling but you’re doing great and easy to understand.

That's awesome! Thanks for posting this! Your English is perfect don't worry

@Alex Harkov ,

I also have used the cling wrap on some things not always the trusted way to get a pattern but yours has come out looking very, very good. Your sewing looks perfect and the material is adhered perfectly. Do you have other trim experience? How is getting supplies in your area?

Hello, thank you that so high marked my work, it's really motivate for new projects, I have had some experience in upholstering of steering wheel, but I little bit feel unconfident in it, maybe it's just I made it only one time, who hnows....? But I like it and I think i Will continue my tries and something good will get. In our city we have no problem with materials, I can get all materials that I need.

@Alex Harkov ,

Welll keep it up you dont get better unless your try.

Exactly you are right. In a few days I will upholster next steering wheel, and hope it will better than previous one

As long as you learn something from the next project, even if it doesn’t turn out like you wish, it’s still a good job!
