making seat covers

[yellow kitty]

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on covering the front seats of my NBC in the summer (black leather won't feel good on the thighs on hot days, I'm guessing ), but nothing that's out there is really rocking my world. Anybody out there taken a crack at sewing their own? I'm pretty talented with a machine, just wondering if anyone has a pattern.
All the patterns on the Web are for kid's seats...

Have you done any re-upholstery (sp?) or make fitted slip covers? It's just like doing that.

I didn't use a pattern when I did mine. I just measured each cushion and added a little seam allowance, I had an idea how much to buy. I did a real simple/quick job because the fabric I found was on sale really cheap, under a buck. Any way, as I was getting ready to sew I ran out to the car and pinned the stuff up to where I needed darts, chalked up trimlines... (yes, then back in to the machine)!

Sorry I'm not much more help, this was 6 years ago! I just decided now what I want, sort of. I know I want the seat to be denim, it'll hold up nicely. I just haven't figured out if I want to do the backrests that way as well.

I haven't made my own, but I bet you could do it fairly easily.

Don't forget your side airbags, though, which are in the side of the front seats. I know I want mine to work if I ever need them!
