Seat cover pattern

I am thinking about making my own seat covers. I have searched for and can't find a pattern for doing this. I could just go ahead and attempt it without a pattern but to avoid messing up a pattern would make it a lot easier.
Has anyone seen or heard of a pattern for doing this?
Thanks for any help

You'd probably either have to buy seat covers and rip them up for the patterns or trace the sections of the stock seat with large sheets of light paper.

It was a shot in the dark but thought I'd out it out there before going the hard route. I will probably try tracing them with paper.

Sounds like you sew.
As in dress making- use muslin first-it is cheap and you can adjust before you sew to get an exact fit when you sew with the finished material.
