This video demonstrates what it was done on 'stationery cardboard' can also be done on vinyl material. Summarizing I would say that a premade mold/template plays an important role to perform an upholstery design. A mold give us the 'real measures' and what we have to do is just transfer it to the right material not forgetting to add the required 'selvage' or 'seam allowance'. In case of seats it could be 1 cm or 1/2" of an inch as standard measures.
As you can see in the video I show three well known junctions for lateral panels that surround the main flat arch panel. The most common way of attaching the main panel to the other parts is by using a 'piping' all around the arch because it adds more consistency to our pieces.
Notice I have used thin foams (3 to 4 mm thick) for the lateral panels. If we would decide to use a thicker foam (1 cm, 1/2", 3 cm, etc.) then things turn out different because of the thickness of foam material. The material on top( vinyl, fabric, leather, etc.) would 'contract' (figurative) a few milimeters back, more in central part than ends of the pieces.
I will explain it in a next video.
I hope you find this information useful!
