Quick little tutorial on how I (my wife) did my seat. Not sure if this is correct or not, let me know what you think.
List of Materials
Leather from tandy ($40 for 20 feet, enought to do 4 seats)
1 Blue closed cell camping pad from Wal Mart ($10)
Snaps and thread from from Hobby Lobby ($6)
1 Can of 3M super 77 glue (freebie from work)
Start with a seat pan (1/8" mild steel)

Bend to the shape you desire and glue 2 pieces of foam together with the super 77 glue

Cut out the leather with seam allowance. I don't know why, but I thought it would be cool for the black stitching on the seam to show.

After you finish showing, apply snaps and stretch over the seat like so, this is the back view
