Building #4 – Sewing and Embossing
About 80% of this building is involved in production of our show winning interiors.
We do everything ourselves (except make the vinyl!).
Pearl Lori Donna
3 of our 6 sewing machines. The sewing section is about 15 ft. x 60 ft.
with shelves and shelves of binding, thread, and listing (& our sewing
staff).
Donna says she loves to come to work, every
day is a challenge and she feels so proud
when completed upholstery sets are on the
way to the customer.
Most upholstery shops
stress speed, Clarks
stresses quality.
VINYL & HEADLINER
rolls must be on racks
to store it correctly.
We have OVER 600
rolls on racks attached
to the walls. This photo
shows just 24!
Tooling to produce a left 1965 door panel. It would
probably cost about $15,000-20,000 to replace this
tooling.
Pearl is getting ready to make an original fabric
upholstery set. At $100-200 per yard, she'll double
check before cutting!
Cal, Sr. and Anna checking a pattern. Circa 1990.
Each original interior has been carefully taken apart
and documented in a binder. Everything has been
recorded since 1982, right down to the type of
stitching to use.
Anna led our upholstery department for over 18
years until her retirement in 2004.
