Not quite.
- Flames are carved into the foam.
- Then the tweed and leather panels are all sewn together to make an entire seat cover.
- Glue is sprayed on the seat surface and the seat surface is massaged into the flame. This is very tricky.
- When the glue dries, the rest of the coveris pulled around the seat sides, front and back and secured with tacks or hog rings, depending on the seat construction.
