The method includes creating a data base of different seat configurations installed as original equipment by the manufacturer in each model of various vehicle makes and developing a minimum number of seat cover patterns with a seat cover fabricated from each pattern designated as a predetermined size and designed to fit a plurality of the different seat configurations. A selection data base is created assigning each of the seat configurations to a predetermined size of seat cover and a plurality of seat covers are fabricated in each predetermined size in an array of different colors and fabrics. A screen display is presented on a monitor portraying the various seat configurations installed as original equipment by the manufacturer and requesting a selection of one of the various seat configurations portrayed on the monitor. A seat cover size is then presented on the monitor from the selection data base in response to the selection of one of the various seat configurations. Next to the monitor are shelves of boxes of seat covers with each box marked with one of the predetermined sizes.
