Default Seat recovering options?

The seats in my CRX have seen better days. I have a sparco speed to throw in but to be honest I really like the stock seats. I have hit a couple upolstery shops and would like to think there are cheaper options out there to get them recoverd. For the price of having a shop do it I can order a leather kit and do it mysef. Problem is... is I do not want leather. I want fabric. Anyone know of any kit companies out there to help me with my seats?

intresting pic for views

i had a pretty horrible rip in my drivers seat when i bought my CRX. i fixed it by buying a passenger side seat, took the fabric cover and foam off the frame of the seat for both my new seat and my old ripped seat, and swapped the new foam/cover to the old frame. the outcome is a very clean stock seat without any rips or anything. best part about it is that it cost a total of $30. i took apart my ripped seat first to see how it was assembled and then proceeded to the "new" seat. as long as you have pliers for all the fastners, and a general knowledge of how its assembled, itll turn out. it took me about 2 hours total.
