Making the Salon Cushions

Since Jon has inspired me so much .... I decided that I should make the cushions for the V-Berth (where we'll sleep) and the Booth in the Salon (which can be made into a bed that sleeps two).  Since I haven't sewn since Jr. High School I wasn't sure just how much I remembered; but, I knew it would save us $3000.00 so it couldn't hurt to try!  Soooo...we bought a sewing machine, the memory foam and the fabric and away I went!  Here is my progress .......


This is one piece of the memory foam .....


We measured the V-Berth and Booth area and Jon cut out the pieces .....




I lined each piece using bed sheet fabric .....


After everything was lined,  I measured and cut (with Jon's help) the fabric for each piece .... here is one piece completed, and the rest have the fabric cut and are ready to be sewn .....



All the pieces are completed now ..... except for a few finishing touches ...


Here is how the Booth Section will look .... the pieces in the background are for the V-Berth ..... Jon is painting the inside Salon area of the boat now .....  as soon as that is complete we'll take photos of everything put together!
