upholstering seats

im thinking thats what i might have to do, but has anyone attempted to make the covers from scratch? waht i really wanted to do was take the seat apart and put in some softer and more comfortable cushions too.

 
anyone here know how to do it? right now i have cloth, id like to redo them with leather or something. i tried googling, didn't really come up with anything. pimp my ride makes it look easy lol.
the way it works is... for a seat cover that fts PERFECTLY like the factory one, you take off the OEM seat cover. de-stitch it and mark each piece... pictures help too. You then use these pieces as a template on whatever material you're using, then stitch them together the same way as the original and... VOILA! OEM quality seat cover. The downside is that you have to disassemble your seat to remove or put on such a thing, but it looks a hundred times better, not to mention more custom, than those crappy seat covers you pull over the top.

ah yeah, thats a good idea. the only thing is if i screwed up, id really be screwed over lol. but thats probably the way to go. anyone have any other ideas?

 
^ take it to an upholstery shop and have 'em do it the way i described...

i think they'd be able to handle it for ya //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
ya know i'm thinking about scrapping the whole idea in light that i might sell the car next summer anyways. but if i end up keeping it, i might explore these options some more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif
