I will be making my own seat covers. anyone ever try?

Has anyone ever made their own seat covers? I plan to recover my seats this month and want to make my own vinyl seat covers to put on to them, has anyone ever tried it? I know already I can buy them from all the online sites and aslo realize I can send them to a store to do it, I really want to try this my self. Any suggestions before I begin would be appriciated. Pics will be posted when I begin.

I am starting with my pass. side seat b/c my rear seats are like new. I was thinking of trading with someone with ****ty seats just so I dont ruin the good ones. I am also having problems with the hog rings
