Seat Re-Upholstery - rough costs and where to go?
As our search for a decent set of Captain's Seats continues without success we have thought about getting our existing seats re-upholstered. A search on the web so far has produced widely differing prices so I just wondered if anyone on here had an experience of getting their seats done or if anyone can recommend a place.
thanks as always

Or strip existing seat, carefully take it apart and use it as a pattern to make your own. Anyone reasonably competent with a sewing machine can make them.

I like the sound of that, apart from the 'Reasonably competent with a sewing machine' bit ha-ha!!!!

Hiya! Long time no speak - good to see the van is back again!
I got our seats recovered at Falcon fabrics - excellent service and price!
Jane there loves doing VW camper work - and they were cheaper than anywhere else I tried!!!
