The golf cart cushions will soon appear to have seen best days after spending numerous sunny hours or evenings on the chipping green. Much like most upholstery furniture items, golf cart chairs are covered in polyester, cotton, or fabric. You can manufacture your homemade golf cart cushions using the same method that the original cushions were fastened to the seat. We will be taking a towel as an example for this tutorial, you can use any other kind of cloth also.
You can just take a towel, measure the dimensions of the already installed seat cover, cut the towel according to that dimension, put the towel over the seat and make sure the corners are accurately placed, the last word is to just staple or stitch the corners of the new cover with the seat.
Change of Fabrics
Step 1
Utilize the outdated seat panels as a reference to calculate the necessary yardage for covering your golf cart chairs.
Step 2
Choose a substitute fabric from the local fabric shop that you prefer. Select weather-resistant outdoor textiles that are durable.
Step 3
Lay the previous seat coverings on top of the freshly spread cloth. If it isn’t too heavy, pin your old cloth to the fresh material. On the replacement cloth, draw the pattern of each old section if necessary.
Step 4
Slice out the replacement pieces, then arrange them so that the top half is facing up.
Mounting the Seat Cover
Step 1
On top of the new cloth piece, place the seat pillow with the top staring down. Long and wide, place the cushion in the middle.
Step 2
Use a stapler to attach the cloth to the backrest frame’s bottom, or continue using the prior attachment technique. Pulling the material taut, begin at the peak and bottom centers and go to the centers of the 2 sides.
Step 3
From the middle out to the ends, staple the cloth along each edge.
Step 4
To prevent pleats, pull or stretch the material at the corners lower. Before bending under and attaching, sew the edges into bowed angles or give each edge a tight, tidy fabric fold.
Step 5
Place the chair cushions onto the vehicle and put it into place after trimming the surplus fabric.
Assemble the Backrest Cushion
Step 1
Place the new material pieces down on top of the headrest cushions, centering them in both length and width. To secure the opposing edges in place and draw the material taut, fold the cloth over at the center of each edge.
Step 2
Pin the material from the edges to the ends. For a perfect corner completion, either stitch rounded or boxed edges or pull the material taut.
Step 3
Trim the extra fabric, then reattach the headrest pillows to the chair frame of the golf cart.
