You can get samples from many online fabric stores, but I can be impulsive sometimes and I am just too eager to start this project to wait for samples! I hope I don't regret it! I'll also be sure to write about any "hiccups" I run into along the way, so hopefully others can learn from my experience.

I'm actually in Alaska, so just like you, all of my supplies have to come in the mail. Unfortunately, I don't get to "touch" anything either. I'm hoping that what I see in color matches online are fairly accurate, and the picture of the finished product I have in my head, are close to reality! LOL. We will be living onboard, so my ideal is to be elegant, cozy, comfortable, and of course...EASY to clean.Donna/Denali Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084071043127970610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501612974151293583.post-42769090076839892952016-01-28T07:56:01.910-04:002016-01-28T07:56:01.910-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243253409901808692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501612974151293583.post-54485998454952796102016-01-28T07:55:23.787-04:002016-01-28T07:55:23.787-04:00Amy--this article has completely inspired me!

Wandering around the boat, thinking, what else could I cover? Because there is a string of pictures in this article that are hilarious--pic of the machine, pic of the generator cover then, although I read the sub-title, I swear you have Skeeter cover (instead of the helm cover). Or maybe he's just hiding in there. Anyway, this is a great article that is SO INFORMATIVE!! I'll be telling others about it for sure!

As I was doing my research I just copied and pasted the things I found helpful into a blog draft, and then filled in the text and pictures around it. I figured it would be nice for other people to have a guide so they don't have to spend hundreds of hours sifting through information like I did, LOL :) I am envious of your access to real fabric stores, where you can actually see and touch the fabrics in person. Good luck with your projects! It will feel so good to have new cushions and upholstery! Please share your final product on the Sewing on Boats Facebook group when you're done! I look forward to seeing it :) Señorita Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14062013970213610527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501612974151293583.post-12439156779546513312016-01-26T17:27:41.929-04:002016-01-26T17:27:41.929-04:00What a great blog post!

I'm going to reuse the dinette and v-berth cushions, just recover them, but the main salon needs new seat cushions and covers. I will definitely look into the Foam Factory to see if they can supply what I need. I bought ultra-suede off of Ebay, and upholstery fabric from a store in North Carolina, and I can't wait to get started.Donna/Denali Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084071043127970610noreply@blogger.com
