Now don't be too quick to judge! My husband had never sewn more than a straight seam and when I refused to upholster any more old cars, he did one himself and did a remarkable job. He doesn't want to quilt however, and really praises the quilts I make. He had never used an upholstery machine before or used any kind of pattern. He used the old upholstery for pattern where it was available and made his own patterns when it was missing. It was amazing to me. He ran out of the main fabric and bought a coordinating fabric and used it for pockets and trim. He has had lots of people ask who did his upholstery because they liked it so much!
