Leather seats.com has patterns, but not sized patterns that you could use to make templates (at least last time I checked).
I am not sure about FCs (which it seems like you have based on your name), but on FDs there are ALOT of hog rings holding the various seat sections onto the frame, but I have swapped seat skins and it's not too hard, but just a PITA. You can pick up the hog ring pliers and enough rings for both seats (for an FD), for maybe $40 IIRC.
For my FD, I wasn't able to find any "seat covers" (as opposed to seat skins) that fit well, so I ended up swapping the seat skins. My seats are due to be given a new freshening again now, but will likely just take them to a reupholsterer this time.
