that is a fantastic job. You have done really well getting the tightness on the stitching, that was the bit that was the most difficult for me. The finish is really professional and I love he fabric. Well done!

Need you advice ladies or gents should I do beige curtains or plum?

I'd go beige, less noticable if the sun fades them Fantastic job by the way.

Thanks didn't think about fading from sun.but then if they did fade I could make more.:) so not a big issue.

I recovered mine myself. I did what Velvet Kitten suggests and I used the old ones as a template. I bought new buttons covered by skiddaw upholstery. It does take time to do it yourself. I did mine over the winter, just done them a bit at a time. I'm happy with mine, the finish is fine but obviously not exactly that professional finish. I have a picture on my profile.

Any questions just ask.

Hi Tracey I have finished the cushions today and finally got the house back in order.Daughter sugested plum she said it would give a richness, like you said the walls are plain cream so plum would blend in.        lol I too keep poping out to our caravan and sit in it.I am pleased with what I have done I think it looks more up to date .

Tom85  What I did was pull one to bits then cut around the bits and sewed it back together, I will admit it was not easy as my cushions were quilted so  had to quilt them as well.Mine have not got zips so I hand sewed the linings at the back.

That looks incredible I keep trying to gain the courage to recover mine but I doubt I would do such a great job.

Where did you get your material if you don't mind me asking and whats the backing material?
