Re-upholstering the cushions was way more work than I could have ever imagined.
How much fabric do you need? I did a quick estimate of the cushions and ordered the following:
- 9.5 yards of navy blue for all seat cushions (only half of the dinette cushions);
- 4.5 yards of chevron pattern for the other half of dinette cushions and a throw pillow or two;
- 5 yards of peacock feather pattern for curtains and throw pillows; and
- 30 yards of sage green lip cord for cushion trim.
We will be using velcro to enclose one of the edges so that the slip covers can be removed for washing.
Now that the project is finished, I would advise ordering an extra yard or two of the navy blue and curtain material - we literally have nothing left over.
