Default Recovering seats?

Anyone ever reupholstered seats? I have my Del Sol stock seats, no rips or anything, like the style want a little different look, is anyone aware of any place that makes a cover that you take off the old put the new on? That way I've not got to sew anything, because I have no idea how to sew and places around here want $1200 to reupholster both seats. Would rather spend a little money to get the cover that would be easier. But I do not want just a regular off the shelf cover over the regular seat fabric.

Or if anyone is aware of a good way to learn how to reupholster them that'd be cool too.

problem with older honda seats. the seat cover is glued to the foam padding.

it will start saggin when it separates. unless you got some tricks up your sleeve, you will be pulling off the pieces of foam along with the seat cover.
meaning that once you put the new covers on you willsee the spots where the fabric is missing.

leather covers hide it a bit better but will still require glue to set them in place.
it costs alot becuase its a time consuming job.
