The aim of this upholstery project is to thoroughly wrap in leather a Mercedes Benz - C Class 2007 to turn it into a power office chair for my shop.

I want to share in this video how the 'french seams' are done on one of its bolsters.
I have chosen for this chair a 1.3 mm thick, tan color full grain semi aniline leather material. I have chosen the 'watch strap pattern' for the main sitting panel. The other parts remain the same OEM pattern.

The sewing involves two already molded pieces. This time, I have not skived the edges to do the closing/blind sewings. The pieces are foamed with a lining made of headliner material giving a considerable thickness. A Durkopp&Adler, twin needle, post bed sewing machine was used to do the double stitches. A 180 needle size for the sewing machine. 10 mm between needles.
A red polyester bonded thread 138 size was used for the 6 mm long top stitches. A polyester thread 92 size is used for the bobbin thread.

We will continue updating the project with the next related videos.
I hope you enjoy and find the video inspirational!
