February is a great month to.....

re-upholster all the cushions on the boat!!  I have 18 sumptuous yards of navy-blue ultrasuede ready to go!!  See the fabric behind the pillow in the following photo??

 

Yep, that's the stuff.  It's gorgeous, durable, washable, soft, and you can even draw pictures in it with your hands by smoothing it in different directions ;)

There are 16 cushions to re-cover!!  16!!  We went to the boat over the weekend and measured all the zippers too.  I have decided to use plastic/nylon zippers, as the current metal ones are almost completely corroded.  

The V-Berth cushions are first (there are 3) and they have already been stripped of the old fabric.  I will use the old fabric as a pattern, but alter it slightly in order to make it to my liking.
