Are the old seats intact enough that you can take the covers apart and use them for patterns? Or are you intent upon customizing the seating so that the patterns would not help?
I think upholstery may be harder than it looks but the worst that can happen is that you ruin the material and eat the cost of doing it again. I think most of us would like to try doing it. I know I have looked at the possibility of re-upholstering a boat or two but so far have not done it.

I’m thinking of tackling complete seat upholstery on my 73 BMW 2002. I don’t mean just buying the seat covers but sewing them up in leather. I’ve never done such a thing but I’ve watched loads of YouTube videos. I have an industrial walking foot machine and I’ve done carpet binding on the same car and various other small leather projects. Is this crazy on my part? Anyone done this before? Will I be in over my head?
