The Boat Upholstery class introduces you to boat cushion and basic boat seat fabrication with a hands-on approach to learning. Materials, thread, foam used boat upholstery will be covered. You will pattern, cut and sew different styles of boat cushions from start to finish. Then with the basic knowledge learned from boat cushions, you can incorporate those techniques into patterning, cutting and sewing a "skin" for a boat seat form.
You will fabricate a square cushion, V-berth cushion, and a "knee roll" or "lumbar" cushion during the week of training. The curriculum includes instruction in making patterns, transfer the patterns to material for cutting and sewing and critiquing the finished project. You will also learn a technique called roll and pleat.We also cover in detail materials suited for cushions, thread, zippers, foam and "tools of the trade" used in cushion fabrication
