Why do this when there are quality vendors out there with the canvas for the seats?
Curious,

Im being cheap, tents seem to be cheap, and its not for a full resto, just to make useable seats.
Also Im not sure if im going to leave this configuration or put in 2 buckets later.

I think you would need a heavy duty machine to sew them. If you have to pay someone to sew them ,I'm not sure there would be much saving.

I made my own. I used cordura nylon I got off eBay. It's at least as heavy as the original canvas, and I sewed mine with an old singer home sewing machine.

I can sell you some 2 man tent sections so you can use the canvas to make your own seat covers. My wife sews it with a regular cheap Sears sewing machine with no problem. $2 a section plus shipping. I should still have some new sections.
