We’ve added a Find an Upholsterer directory to the Carolyn Fabrics website.

If you run an upholstery shop in NC, SC, TN or VA, send us your shop details so we can review it for a listing. Furniture, auto, marine and commercial shops can apply.

You can also apply for a Carolyn Fabrics trade account if you need materials. That’s a separate application, and you don’t need one to request a listing.

This one turned out amazing. We stitched our plaid pattern on Pinnacle Amber vinyl for PremiumFilmz, changing the thread from teal to cream to grey, then back to teal.

Plaid is the only pattern we offer with multiple thread colors, and I really like how these colors came together on the Amber. We appreciate him letting us be part of his project.

Our hex pattern on Pinnacle Raven vinyl with lime green thread. We're stitching this one for a customer's motorcycle project, and I really like how that green looks against the Raven.

Our hex pattern in customer-supplied marine vinyl with black thread. This one's going into a car.

Our customer is upholstering the car for his customer and wanted custom inserts for the job. We stitched the panels for him to use in that upholstery work.

Pinnacle Amber vinyl with matching thread in our Diamond in Diamond pattern. This customer bought the panel to upholster his four-wheeler.

We stitch the panel, and he takes it from there. Always fun to hear what these are going into.

Blue Gemini marine vinyl, red thread, and our Hex Unlinked pattern. A little color goes a long way.

Gemini has a turned-metal look that catches the light, and the red stitching gives each hex a little outline of its own.

Custom stitching belongs on boats, too. We sew the panels, and you use them to build the seats. Pick a pattern and a vinyl/thread combination that fits your project.

Qbert in brown leather with tan thread. This customer supplied the leather for their job, and we sewed our Qbert pattern into it.

The tan stitching really brings out those little cubes. You can watch them take shape as the machine works its way across the panel.

We sew custom upholstery panels for you to use in your own upholstery work. Have a project in mind? Tell us what you're working on.

A customer brought us a sample pattern and asked if we could reproduce it.

We copied the pattern, matched the material and thread, and had his panel sewn that same day.

We’ll be adding this design to our pattern lineup soon. What would you call it?

Have a pattern you’re trying to match? Send us a photo and we’ll take a look.
