We lucked out; found 36 yds of upholstery fabric on Ebay (2 pieces with buy it now prices). Got both for a total, with shipping, of $83 and change. Works out to about $2.32 per yd:





Color is blue and the dots are a flesh tone.

Wow - perfect timing. up here (Canuckistan, land of winning hockey teams) Fabricland has all their sunbrella copies at 50% off until Sunday. $10 per yard.

How many yards does the whole interior? Does 36 yards leave excess?

I calculated the cloth needs for my dinette layout to be around 25 yard of 60 inch wide cloth. I am going to use a cheaper cloth on the back/bottom and a nice navy blue cloth on the front/tops.

I haven't placed my order yet so I will calculate the cloth again before then. Just to make sure.

I was originally working on needing 25 yds. because I thought I had read that in a previous thread. I bought 36 yds. because there were 2 ebay offerings of the same fabric, one 11 yds and the other 15 yds., knowing that would likely be too much. I haven't started on the cushions yet (haven't approached the admiral yet with the idea of her making them. I'll probably have the four main salon cushions done professionally because they are the most visible. Got to find the funds, too. It's all still up in the air at the moment.
I took two pics over the weekend with the fabric loosely tucked in around the starboard settee to see how it might look:





This fabric is almost as wide as our queen bed mattress, and it looks like we may be able to get both cushions per side done within the width.

Looks Good David. In my head 25 sounds about right.

I was thinking we would go with a solid colour that is always in stock so we can replace a panel after teh kids spill stuff on it.

They had a nice sunbrella knockoff and the faux suede that the modern boats are all using. Both would look nice but the sunbrella is kidproof.
