Leather seat cover

Does anyone make a leather seat cover for an AD? I'd love to not have to pay an ulpolsterer to do work I can do myself.

I agree, and thats why I bought a heavy duty ( upholstery ) sewing machine and have been practicing part of today. I try to practice every sunday for at 3 hrs before I will start my truck seat. I know it will take a very long time to get good at it but I am only doing it so I can do my own seats and door panels.
Plus I have a couple friends who do upholstery and they have been teaching me different tricks and tips. It has made it easier the last couple times.

Re: Leather seat cover

Exactly. If I can justify buying a tool to learn a new skill, I'm on it. But in this case, I can't. Just need a set of hog ring pliers and the cover.
