Hi folks. Thought I'd finally join the forum having dropped into here a few times for advice.
I got into upholstery after spending 4 years restoring my '72 VW camper and wanting to do the upholstery myself too. I bought most of John's courses which gave me the confidence to do all of the upholstery. It ended up coming out really nice:
I've since started another restoration on a '73 Baja bug which has a pretty wild interior ready to go in it:
At the beginning of this year I decided to start a little side hustle doing upholstery for other people's projects with a view to see how it goes for a year or so and work out if it's something I could possibly do full time. So far I've had plenty of interest which is promising!
Another VW bay window camper bed and Porsche Tombstone seats:
And a set of seats for a VW T25 last week:
I've another set of these booked in, as well as another full bay window interior so am hopeful this may be something I can take on full time. We shall see.
I may have some questions soon as I have a friend with a boat that wants a full interior doing in it (my first marine job!). I live on the coast so this could be a good project to take on.
