Attention ! For begginers or for more precise work , just remove your old seats upholstery and unsew everything into pieces, so then you will have a completely precise pattern for your car seats. Then at the pattern you can design custom upholstery designs , and then you just have a little more job because it's custom design but if you want to change just fabric of seats this way it's a lot easier.
