quote for new upholstry covers

[mcbrew]

$290 for all the covers from Scamp seems like a reasonable price. I think we are going to go this route. Our foam is good... in fact, the cushions in our '84 are pretty nice... but we are looking to update it to a more modern color scheme.

pbraunton, I know I would be over my head with a sewing job like this. Good luck with it... let us know how it goes!

that's close but cut the fabric the exact same size as the foam (trust me here). once the foam gets forced into the cover, it looks just right. I leave about 1/2 inch of material outside the stitch. I also used velcro rather than zippers. I can take a photo if you like? IM me you email and I'll send it out to you.

where are you located?

I was Quoted $700 just for the sewing, if i bought the fabric off of him, and he said if i get the fabric myself the sewing price would go up a bit????

which makes no sense at all to me?


so what have other paid for someone to sew them all new cushions???

I already have new foam, so that is not an issue

thanks

Last time I checked a set of fully sewn cushion covers from Scamp would save you several hundred dollars. Likely the same patterns.

For our 74 Boler we bought a new set of covers from Scamp a couple of years ago, and had them shipped to Canada. We then installed them with the previous foam. The price was reasonable and they all fit except the banana cushion, for which the new cover was slightly small compared to the old one.

There is a good site on Bolerlife here: Small Mods and Discoveries
with tips for re-installing the upper front bunk that made it much easier.

one other little tip, the foam cuts well with an electric carving knife... just take your time and let the knife do the work.
