Re: Cushions

[Bob Schimmel <bpschim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Warren:

Actually I'm a bit of a tightwad when it comes to certain jobs on the 
boat.  The foam was the most expensive part, which I bought on sale 
around $200.00 Can. The fabric was also on sale at a local wholesale 
fabric shop, around $75.00  I recycled the zippers from the old 
cushions.  It was my part of the labour component of the job. The rest 
of the labour came from my mother who owed me a favour. To tell you the 
truth, I'm still paying for the favour.  Some things never change.

I know that if I had the cushions made professionally I would have 
easily paid $1000.00  But I'm pretty handy with a sewing machine  so I 
would have done that part of the job myself.  Sewing isn't that 
difficult to do.  Cushions are only straight lines.  Use thread the same 
colour as the fabric and most of it disappears. Practice setting the 
thread tension on some scrap cloth.  Good Luck.
