What is claimed is:

1. A motor vehicle seat cover comprising:
a first part;
a second part; and
a piping having a circular cross-sectional portion, wherein a first section of the piping is assembled to the first and second parts, wherein the circular cross-sectional portion of at least a second section of the piping is below the first and second parts, and wherein the first and second parts are directly assembled above the circular cross-sectional portion of the second section of piping.

2. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the assembly is performed by sewing.

3. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the piping comprises, in cross-section, the circular portion continued by a rectilinear portion.

4. The cover of claim 3 , wherein the assembly is performed by sewing and wherein the sewing of the first and of the second parts crosses the circular portion of the piping at the interface between the first section of the piping and the second section of the piping.

5. The cover of claim 4 , wherein, in the first section of the piping, edges of the first and second parts are sewn to the rectilinear portion of the piping.
