It is possible, but holy cow that'd be a lot of work. Essentially, you'd be re-upholstering the entire seat all over again, just with new thread. Then, if whoever did the upholstery work didn't line up the old seat covers just right, you could see stitching holes in some spots, and it would now be weaker because you just put twice an many needle holes in the same area on the fabric.

You could try staining/painting the current thread, but that sounds time consuming and would probably cause accidental stains on the seat fabric itself too. Good luck!
