Ctgriffi Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) All winter, I've been itching to work on our 91 Warrior; I've got a long list of interior updates that I've been planning. Anyway, it's been too cold to try much, so I decided to give the old dinette cushions a makeover. The wife gave me the thumbs up on this fabric, and I'm enjoying the (indoor) project! More photos to come... Edited February 26, 2015 by Ctgriffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 You do very nice work. Fabric looks great. Nice clean looking but I can tell it's durable. Zippers are not my friends. So difficult to get the lines so nice and straight Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So difficult to get the lines so nice and straight Linda S Thanks, Linda! Yeah, the fabric is upholstery grade and should hold up pretty well. I'm thrilled 'cause we found it at a 'Fabric Outlet' for like $2.99/yard—just enough left to do the four cushions. I haven't done much sewing, but I'm finding that it's similar to any detailed, hand-work: take your time, measure twice, and make sure your cuts are straight and square. Once you do all that and baste it carefully, the sewing seems to take care of itself. (This video was a big help to me, too, if anybody else wants to try.)
