Nice job. looks good, should look better in a week or so:
For all you guys that might not know, any little wrinkles in the cover will almost always come out once the seat is in the truck/car and set out in the sun for a few days. The heat in the cab will let the foam pads and cover stretch and relax in all the right spots for a nicer fit. Working auto upholstery, some picky customers have had something to say about the tiniest of wrinkles upon pick-up. We always tell them- give it a week, they should come out, if not come back.
we've never had anyone come back...
but the down side- most of the pics of my work are before the seats get a chance to puff up... very rarely will a customer come by just to thank ya!

yeah, def takes some strength. But bench seats are easy! everything is right there- now a set of racing seats with full bolsters- that'll really put your fingers to the test.
Just one more little tip- if your foam is collapsed, before you re-tighten a new cover over it, try to steam the foam, it'll usually puff up a whole lot.
if you have no access to a steamer a closed bathroom with the hot water in the shower usually does pretty good.
or you can also do the sun trick- set in the sun for the hottest part of the day, it will puff up....but not as much as with the steam...
