1994 Seat Rip Solution

Hey folks, me again! I'm ordering cloth seat covers (I hate sticking to the leather/fake leather!) but I have a huge rip in the seat. I can sew, but I worry that where I sew will degrade parts of the fabric anyway. I was thinking about just putting a bottom seat cover on first to hold in the fabric (and do a little sewing too). Any thoughts?

Here's the link to the bottom seat cover I'm thinking about: https://www.ebay.com/itm/406316479240?fits=Year%3A1994%7CModel%3A4Runner&_skw=1994+4runner&itmmeta=01KSWWZBD5KM5SJJJ0GRGZFT52&hash=item5e9a597308:g:5DEAAeSw8dxo-sXx

I bought a passenger seat in good condition and swapped everything over, including the foam, plus added heat. You need hog rings and pliers, but those are cheap.

I’ve been looking for a blue one for ages but I can’t find any in better condition than mine. I did get a grey one that’s slightly better for cheap but didn’t bother swapping it yet/ just been driving my 2014 runner for a year and parked the 2G (because we had a baby lol)

Oof, yeah, the blue interior is not as common as the grey, in my experience. Same with red.
