How to Reupholster a Pontoon Corner Bench SEAT

In this upholstery DIY video, we're reupholstering the corner bench seat of a pontoon with beautiful new EverSoft vinyl fabric from Sailrite. Instead of using patterning material, we're going to show you how to use the old vinyl to pattern your new vinyl. There is a lot of shape and contouring in this corner seat. We show you how to add match up marks to every seat panel so assembly of the new vinyl will be easy and mistake-free. You'll also learn how to sew new piping, create a fabric pull, join the panels together and more. We even show you a trick for removing wrinkles from your new vinyl seats.
