Does anyone have a pattern for a seat cover or a link?

My wife is quite a seamstress and does alterations, sews some of my hunting clothes, made her own wedding dress and does quilting too and she offered to make a custom seat cover for me. I am thinking I would like it with a combination of Carhart material and denim. I might have some of my old jeans used and put the rear pockets in the center of the seat back. I also want this because in the summer I dont think I will be able to sit on the vinyl seat.

I am wondering if there is a pattern somewhere for this or a factory cover that has been removed. We could take the seat out and the existing cover off to copy

I think I saw on your glovebox spid it said your truck originally had the Highlander option with Avocado seats. I couldn't tell in the pics if was still in there. Here is a link to a lot of Highlander threads ... and a pic of the materials offered. Yours would be the bottom left avocado, that would be a good look for your truck and you wouldn't be sitting on vinyl.

Your truck seat came from the factory looking like this.
This is the company for the correct Highlander seat material:

I need one like this that is plain and worn out and maybe $100 so my wife can rip it apart to make a a pattern. She would rip the seams out of it and pattern each piece.
