Abstract

An automotive seat cover kit from which custom fitted seat covers can be swiftly made and installed on substantially all current makes of two or four door automobiles. Precut and presewn units consisting of woven and nonwoven panels are employed to cover the front and top surfaces of the rear seat back cushion and the front, top and back surfaces of the front seat back cushion. Separate side panels of nonwoven material to cover the side surfaces of the front seat back cushion and the side edges of the presown front seat back cushion unit are trimmed and sewn during installation. In the case of a two door car, a precut and presewn unit of woven and nonwoven material is employed to cover the top and front surfaces of the rear seat seat cushion. In the case of a four door car, the sides of the rear seat are partially exposed, and for covering these seat cushions the kit includes a rectangular panel of woven material for covering the top of the seat cushion and two rectangular panels of nonwoven material to constitute the skirt. These three latter panels are trimmed and sewn during installation. To cover the front seat seat cushion, a rectangular panel of woven material is supplied to cover the top of the seat cushion and three separate panels of nonwoven material are supplied respectively for the front and opposite side surfaces or skirt of the front seat cushion. These latter four panels are trimmed and sewn during installation.
