Abstract
A vehicle seat trim assembly for concealing a vehicle seat frame is provided with at least two adjacent panels, which are oriented at angles relative to each other. At least one slot extends through the at least two adjacent panels. An interior lining is formed from a flexible nonwoven fabric material and sewn within the at least one slot. The interior lining includes a slot with a width smaller than the width of the at least one slot in the at least two adjacent panels to enclose the slot in the at least two adjacent panels and to deform to provide clearance for a head restraint post. An embroidered seam is sewn into the vehicle seat trim member around the at least one slot and sewn into the interior lining to attach the interior lining to the at least two adjacent panels.
