A Stitch In Time Upholstery

06/16/2026

The wait is over!

What started as a bare shell is now one of the cleanest Scout interiors to leave the shop.

• Distressed brown and cream leather
• Tan German square weave carpet with distressed brown leather binding
• Custom door panels
• Hand built headliner with white leather
• Matching visors and dash pad
• Color-matched green accent stitching throughout
• Handcrafted details from front to back

The goal was never to make it flashy. It was to build an interior that looked like it belonged in the Scout from day one while adding the craftsmanship and comfort it deserved.

The kind of interior that makes you open the door, take a step back, and admire it before turning the key.

🌲 Built for adventure.
🧵 Built by hand.
🚙 Built to last.

Worth the wait? 👇

🚨 WARNING: Interior Envy Ahead. 🚨

This 70’s Scout just got a serious upgrade.

Fresh German square weave carpet wrapped through the entire interior, accented with distressed brown leather binding and finished with color-matched green stitching that ties everything together perfectly.

The goal wasn’t flashy.

The goal was to build something that looks like it could’ve rolled off the showroom floor this way… only better.

This is just the beginning. More details are still on the way.

👀 If this is the carpet work, wait until you see the rest.

🧵 Finished up this 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon interior and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

✔️ Full custom white leather interior
✔️ Custom sewn pleated seats, door panels, and rear panels
✔️ Recovered dash with blue accent stitching
✔️ Simple center console with cup holders
✔️ Custom package tray with pressed mesh speaker grilles
✔️ RetroSound head unit
✔️ All new front and rear speakers

The goal was to keep the classic Oldsmobile styling while adding a few modern touches for comfort, convenience, and sound quality.

A big thank you to the owner for trusting A Stitch In Time Upholstery with this project.

Awhile back Evan Friesth asked me to do a console lid to match his headliner and King Ranch seats. Then he asked if I could do his new steering wheel since the company didn’t have a color close enough. It’s nice when I get finished installed pictures of some of the small projects. Thanks for sending them so I can share!!!

🚨🚨🚨 Need new seat covers for your ride!? Don’t worry we don’t only just sew new ones…we can also purchase pre-made covers from many companies and get you ride looking new! ✨✨✨

This 2003 Honda Accord got new pre-made front seat cover for a super quick turn around. The owners bought this car new in 2003 and it definitely showed.

Feel free to reach out to make your ride look new again!

Also did a minor bolster repair to bring the seats original look back!

Got to work on an original 1938 Yellowstone National Park Bus!! I will tell you I’m felling pretty sore from having to install all covers with tacks 😂

This Royal Enfield Himalayan bike got quite the upgrade!! Added 1” of foam and leveled it out, added gel, and a custom cover to finish it all off!
