If you are making one piece seat covers, then make one from scrap fabric first.
Your fabric needs to be a reasonable weight, not an old sheet but maybe an old curtain.
They need to be tailored:
cut the fabric to the approximate shape
pin it over the padded frame, the pins being on your eventual sewing line
make adjustments until the fit is good
cut off the excess to leave you the appropriate seam allowance
sew it together, and fit.
Work out where and why it went wrong
Make adjustments, and repeat.
Unpick the result to use as a pattern
Cut and sew your cover in the correct fabric, using all you have learned to get it right.
