Skip's Seatcover

Last year for Christmas we bought Skip new seatcovers for his truck's front seats. A few weeks ago I noticed that the driver's side had a hole in it already. You pay $20 and they are only good for 6 months. It is hard to find a decent seat cover now days. Trucks, especially, have a problem with the driver's side seat getting a hole in it. I searched around on internet, looking for a heavy duty seat cover and found a few. The problem is that they were all $50 or so; and that was for just one. I asked Jennifer to check at Walmart and find some heavy duty material and we would make some. She found the perfect material. It is soft on the front, yet heavy duty. The back is the best part. It has a grippy, rubbery surface that total eliminates fraying. We went over to Skip's house to measure his driver's seat, but he left the truck at work. We got the keys from Amy Jo and went over to Skip's work later that night. We tried to be sneaky and do it without Skip knowing. We ended up taking off the old seatcover, cutting it at the seams and making a pattern. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to complete, and it turned out great. Here is our work.

Seth tried it out, and said it was pretty comfortable.
