Stocky - do you have a link for that button covering on ebay - I tried looking last night but gave up the ghost  when starting to get agitated LOL.

Winsford is a nice place - we stayed at Elm Cottage site a couple of times as it is easy travelling to Crewe to visit the parents and my Nana.

Thanks

Up date fabric arrived today and am working on my second cushion and all is going ok.What I have done is undone and used as a pattern.will put pics on soon .I need to get my buttons made up to complete them,and get hubby to do my pelmets,Then shop for curtain fabric.

I've had the fabric for mine for a few months now but waiting for the time to start - probably over the winter. Got fabric from The Famous Bankrupt Shop where it's £3.90 a metre but it's the luck of the draw what they have in so have to keep calling in until right fabric appears.

How have you fastened yours on - velcro or zips.  Our original have zips but not sure what to do.

To finish teh refurb got some fabulous reasonably priced new carpets from www.caravanmats.com.

Rainbowsend - you have jsut given me an idea!

Maybe I should just make slip over covers for my seats and that way I can avoid having to do all the buttons etc and they can be removed for laundering.

MMMMMM now that has got me thinking.

Velvet Kitten - ours have been removable from new.  I think they should be dry cleaned but they wash beautifully and tumble dry - hope new ones are as good but will try a sample piece first.  Will also be putting a layer of new wadding on top of each cushion and then holding it in place with tubular stockinette, this will give a more luxurious feel and look.

Stoky13 - you seem to be getting on quite well.

Hi Jean It is going ok ,My cushions are quilted on the top so I have used the quilted top bit and recovered over it, It helped me to quilt the new fabric I just followed the stiching if you get my meaning.The only problem I have had was the piping around the sides i coverd the origianal piping but it was to thick to sew so decided to leave it off.I think another couple of days then should have them all done.

Got a local upholsterer to do my buttons I picked them up yesterday,cost 15p each with the twine and she more or less gave me the back ones.I have got one large seat and back left to do.Hubby will be busy buttoning today

Helen you could cut the top cover out then sew ties on the sides and ends then tie at the back.Are you wanting to cover yours because you want to keep yours new or cause you don't like them?I have changed mine cause it was pinky flowers and pink curtains
