Need to re-upholster seats in 1960 Tx Maid Fiesta

[weatherford_tx_maid]

Just joined TinBoats, but looks like exactly what I need. Easy-button: anyone know an upholsterer in DFW Metroplex area that will do a small, classic job like this (been trying for a couple years and can't find one). Harder approach: if I just buy the vinyl and piping, can I sew that stuff on a regular sewing machine? Related question: it does not appear that there is an active Texas Maid club at this time, correct? Thx!

Years ago I joined an adult education upholstery class. Met in the evenings and had heavy duty upholstery machines. Most folks were redoing furniture. I was redoing boat stuff including a canvass top. If they have that in your area, might be worth checking out just for access to the heavier sewing machines.

Also look around for old car clubs or shows. Many of those folks can do interiors and that means they could do boats as well.

Excellent lead. I know some folks. Will ask around.
