Anyone here re-cover your own seats?

I have a 2K Z28 SS that has cloth seats and I want to change them to leather.
Just wondering if it's a pain in the neck to do or not? Also wondering who sells decent covers?

The only pain about it is dealing with removing and reinstalling the hog rings that hold the covers down in the middle (wherever it looks pulled in). Get your self a set of pliers and a bunch of new hog rings (real cheap). I used regular pliers and reused the original rings but that was way too much work.
