First, leave one seat toghter while you do the other, this will give you a visual reference if you need. You remove the hog rings and take the existing farbic seat cover off of the seats. Do either the backrest of butt cushion first. Then you cut the stitching/seams using a knife or seam ripper. It should be just the indivdual fabric pieces now. Use these pieces to create a pattern for the new seats. Trace each piece onto the new fabric, and then when you are done cut the new peices out. Try to lay the peices out so the velour stretchs in the same driection on all pieces. Once they are cut out, measure the seam allowence on the old fabric (this is the area after the seam to the edge of the fabric). Use this as the for the seam alloence on the new fabric. Start sewing the new fabric back toghter, the exact oppisite of the way you took it apart. Use the otehr seta as a guide. You wqill sew so the seam is where the seam allowence is (if you have a 1/3" seam allowence, sew the seam `1/3" inwards from the edge). Once the cover is done, re-wrapped it onto the cushion and attach with new hog rings. Re-peat for the other cushions.
