Re-covering seat pads. Am I missing something?

I've had 3 quotes to re cover the removable seat pads (back and base) of my bucket seats. Excluding material, these range from £720 to £960.

Bearing in mind the existing covers are removable and so can be used for templating, any reason why I can't just take these to my local person with a sewing machine and pay £100?
 
If you know a good local trimmer I would talk to them. If it works, great, if not you have only risked £100.

There are plenty of good classic car trimmers out there and I suspect mentioning the 'P' word always puts the price up.
 
Apologies if it has been asked before on a different thread (I couldn't find it), but is there a DIY to remove the pads (seat & back) so as to take them to a trimmer? I've the 18-way FWIW.

I'd love to do a houndstooth on those.

TIA.

I have the GT2/3 carbon folding buckets

I got three quotes to retrim the middle cushions from leather to alcantara.
Booked in for next week with Linas at Design LS. He was the most 'reasonable" of the three, and his work is top notch .

Yes the cushions come out on mine, and I was surprised that it will take 3-4 days, as you would have thought they would have something like that almost off the shelf :dont know:

Though one of the other firms wanted the car in for actually fitting, as apparently it isn't that simple ?

Hopefully I'll be done for Silverstone Classic .
