I have done the upholstery on cars, boats, and my camping trailer. It takes some practice to get good at it. Using the existing seat covers is a good idea. When I have done that I have separated the parts using a seam ripper. Take photos and notes as you take the upholstery apart so that you have a record to guide you. I have a heavy duty sewing machine that I bought from www.sailrite.com. There are several ways to join the pieces before sewing. One way is with staples and another is with seam tape. What experience do you have with sewing projects?
