Default does any oneknow how to reupholster a......

I am wanting to reupholster my seats, but I was wondering if any one knew how to, if so what kind of material would I use? and what kind of needle. Do I do it by hand? or a mechine, if a mechine what kind?
i have a 95 honda civic, we are doing black and lime green colors so what material would be good.

Well usually real leather is way too expensive. So you can use pleather, but getting all the wrinkles out is very hard to do, you have to use a steamer
