like your regular use of the word 'simply'. this looks highly skilled to me. I feel like I just watched a Michelin starred chef and thought 'I can do that'. the reality is probably a lot different. awesome. I hope you charge people a lot of money to do this for them.

I do this every day with plain razor blade. you wedge between string. I weld seat frames, cover foam with half inch foam. sometimes there's chunks missing. I use old car seats foam. put chalk arrow marks after you cut it's puzzle. I've faced hardest puzzles, mystery fasteners factory can throw at me. I peek at bottoms with flash light. I use super glue baking soda on plastics, balling wire junkyard trips to find exact match for side dealers on rips. I spray paint plastic to fabric and vinyl. I never use leather

In 1988 I upholstered my 1970 Dodge Charger and it was my first time working with vinyl. The result was incredibly close to original! The difference was I made paper patterns from the few pieces of original material that was intact and had to guess on what was ripped to shreds. It needs work again so I guess it's time to revive the old Singer 214 industrial machine. .

I plan on redoing the interior on my 335i I currently have saddle brown leather but the front two seats starting to crack and discolor a bit since I'm doing this I decided to just redo it all in black (the car is white W/ black grills so I think itll look better overall) the down side is its quite a bit more work rear seat and door panel inserts, door arm rest, center consols arm rest plus ill be doing the steering wheel (though using alcantara/ultrasuede) but anything worth doing is gonna be time consuming and probably difficult.

It's next to impossible finding another seat with the correct bolt pattern and same seat track width as well, like serious... how many MK1 Renault Trafic phase 1 do you really see around now? But this is a big help and could possibly be the backbone for my next adventure in order to create dreams on water. Time will show.
