- SeonExplorer III bought off craigslist a Juki industrial sewing machine a couple of years ago to make crab bait bags and a couple misc stuff for the boat.
Fast forward to a week ago when I made new cushions for my van's sofa bed. Bought 5" form cushions from Walmart of all places and the fabric at a local shop. I used the existing cushions as the patterns and watched youtube for pointers on sewing the corners. Turned out nice and all for less than $150. - azdryheatExplorerAs much as we pay for our RVs you'd think they would use much higher quality furnishings. Our dinette and theater seats lasted 4 years before the fabric started disintegrating.
- mr_andyjExplorerso, for other readers...
the foam or the fabric or both?
Foam is at fabric stores or craft stores. be sure to get a more dense foam as the cheap soft foam is just too soft to sit on, but is fine for sleeping on. - dcasonExplorerThanks I searched and found upholstery near me...who knew...would have bet nope. So I will have them do it...as opposed to hubby...doesn't need more to do. Thank you both.
Donna - JoeHExplorer IIIAuto or boat upholstery shop
- wa8yxmExplorer IIIMost cities have shops that can either re-cover your existing cushions or craft new based on the old. Upholstery shops or re-upholstery shops.
