The first episode of “Stitched,” an all-new web series by Carl Austman of Revive Upholstery in Langley, British Columbia, is here — and it’s awesome!
In an exclusive interview with The Hog Ring last month, Carl explained what the show is all about:
“The format will mostly focus on the realities of running an upholstery shop, showcasing full car interiors and some specific things like carpets, doors, trunks, convertible tops, seat repairs, headliner repairs—things of that nature. It will also touch on other information about tools, supplies, tips and lots more.”
To that end, the first episode, “Classic Car Door Restoration Extravaganza,” features Carl doing an outstanding job of upholstering a pair of 1964 Ford Thunderbird door panels. The video is shot in a way that allows viewers to easily follow along and learn the process.
We’re so excited for this project and are looking forward to future episodes. If you are too, like the video on YouTube and subscribe to Revive Upholstery’s channel. The first 100 subscribers will be entered into a drawing for a prize!

This is great for our trade. Congrats to Carl on a cool little show. The amount of time and energy that would be going into this show would be insane. Once again a well done! hats off to you!
I have been waiting for this! I’m fairly new to the trade. I have been apprenticing for the past year and a half, under Ronnie and Linda, with the intent of continuing to run the shop after they retired. This process was spotted up after she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I’ve been running by myself for the past 3 months and everything is going well considering. I still have a lot to learn. I have been watching velocity channel and they only care about engines and paint. Please post more episodes!!
