From Denise:
Hi Elizabeth, here are the pictures I promised. I chose not to have extra padding installed in mine. I had it recovered because the stapled banding was coming undone. The auto upholstery shop did a much better job in this area and it is tightly stitched and secured to the bottom frame.
Thanks for sharing these with us. I LOVE the color!

Oh Denise, I really like your choice of color.
ReplyDeleteGreat color Denise; but I think I'd opt for extra padding like Bee & Sarge did. There are times, when I'm using my 'Scoot a lot, that my butt does start to hurt...
ReplyDeleteBee and Denise, would either of you mind sharing what it cost to have your seats reupholstered?
I never would have thought of taking it to an auto upholstery place -- what a great idea!
AmpleHugs,
Anne
Very nice! Now I want to have my seat extra padded and recovered in black with red flames down the sides :)
ReplyDeleteCynth, you go girl! I'm going to have to mail my seat to the shop you find to do that!
ReplyDeleteAnne, in Bee's post she said hers were $35 each. Denise's was $175.
ReplyDeleteLike Elizabeth said, Bee got a GREAT deal!
ReplyDeleteCynthia, that sounds so cool! I love the purple but wasn't thinking about how it might "clash" with the red canvas pouch. Now Iam thinking about looking for a purple print canvas and remaking one :) I should have gone with a red LOL.
I love the splash of color. I bet the the same place, a furniture repair or even an awning shop could make you a matching canvas pouch. They all have the material and heavy duty sewing machines. The original seat binding has always been a weak spot on the scoot. I also love to see such custom work being done locally. It seems to be a trend.
ReplyDeleteThe pouch has some sort of stays (metal?) in the bottom. I would think that might be expensive to reproduce. One of you guys will probably prove me wrong though.
ReplyDeleteThey could probably just cover the existing pouch with purple fabric. Might be cheaper than a total re-make.
