Where to find good upholstery material/fabric?
 

Where to find good upholstery material/fabric? in philly area....i want to try some suede inserts and maybe seats.

I know a place that wraps interior pieces like headliners, door pannels, seats, trunks, anything! It's in Jersey though, they are calles Normans Auto glass and upolstry.

They are the ones who did my full Bride interior.

Cool. I wanna get my seats redone. They can do any custom thing you want?

yes, ANYTING! Embroider "susie" in the driver headrest and "Keith" in the passenger headrest.

You're hilarious, Can they embroider dork where it says bride on your seat!

No, but we can put a "do not slide little PP's through headrest" on your seat.

i need a place to buy the actual material...

any more info on this shop.... i have been dying to get my seats down in black.. i hate the tan ones...all my panels are already black just need the seats re-upholstered.. any idea on a price range? also got pics of the work they do in your car???

You just need black Suede? If so, how many yards? I have around 1.5 yards at my house but it is somewhat wrinkled b/c its near the end of the roll where it is wrapped tighter... Ill take a pic if interested, I got it for $32 a yard, I could sell the 1.5 to you for $40 shipped...

I got it at school (WyoTech) in upholstery class from Three Rivers Supply company...

Three Rivers Supply Company
477 W. 7th Avenue
West Homestead, PA 15120
(412)462-3900

Give them a call, they are one of the larger fabric/trim/upholstery dealers that I know of (and that the teachers and WyoTech uses).


You could also search for Alcantara. It is similar to Suede, but softer... My headliner is covered in Alcantara and I love it. A few companies cover their seats in Alcantara...

Alcantara's website : http://www.alcantara.com/


Just an idea.

(Man I need to get a sewing machine so I can make some side money LOL)

I got my suede from Joann fabrics.. they have a pretty good selection between micro and regular

yellow i might be interested in that but first i'll see what they have...

180sxdrifter: where is Joann fabrics located?

anyone know where i can order some alcantara?

Try http://www.bandjfabrics.com/

Im planning on driving up there in 2 weeks or so. They carry Ultrasuede and I believe alcantara.

There's Joann's everywhere, warminster, southampton, oxford valley... There's also the rag shop in warminster too. Also on Jacksonville Rd in Hatboro there's a upholstery shop, you may be able to buy material from them, not sure though.
