Sounds simple enough. Slight fly in the ontment is that I only started with bare seat shells so I don't have a pattern to copy. I'm also aware that you need an industrial grade sewing machine to stitch leather or leatherette. Trying to use a domestic machine for heavy duty trim materials is the equivalent of trying to fix the Forth Road Bridge with my 100 amp stick welder. I wish you well if you do have a go yourself though.
