Made the final reversible cushion for the back of the seat by the fireplace. Now all the remaining ones are simple box cushions and should move quicker. Fingers crossed.
3rd saloon cushion ready
2nd saloon cushion done
Making progress on cushions. Made the 2nd reversible cover for the back of the saloon seat. Turned out pretty nice – happy with it.
Made the first cushion cover
The first cover turned out pretty well. Used the traditional method with continuous boxing to make it reversible.
Realized last minute that I ordered #5 zippers and then got #10 pulls that totally don’t fit them. Doh! Tried to find #5 pulls anywhere in SF and managed to find 1 at a store on Clement st. That one was white. So this first cushion has black zipper with white pull. Will have to wait for more #5 to arrive in mail before I can tackle the other cushions.
Fabric arrived!
Got the fabric for the cushions today. Soooo looking forward to making the covers and seeing how the saloon looks.
Finalized main sail cover/bag
Finalized the front section of the new sail cover/bag by adding straps and buckles.
Fireplace vent cover
With sewing machine out for the floor runner, took time to finalize the cover for the fireplace vent. I made it a few years ago but ended up with it being too small and useless. The teak base under the vent got pretty weathered so I finally added a wedge into my first take and made that cover fit. Not my best work but does the job.
New floor runner
Got a runner for the saloon floor. It was a bit too wide so had to trim it and sew the edge to keep it together. Put it over non-slip backing.
Pretty happy with the result. Nice to walk on and colors match the blues on the custom tiles we made for the fireplace. Let’s see how long this holds up.
Finished window coverings
Made window curtains for the rollers I installed awhile back. The material was a bit too stretchy and pretty hard to work with. Not my best sewing but good enough.
Mounted them on the rollers to cover the windows. Happy with the result – great privacy and a lot less interior varnish fading from the sun.
Made cover for pukka
Teak and finish started showing signs of wear so I sewed a small cover for the port-side pukka.
Finished companionway cover
Finalized the cover by adding a mesh window, putting in velcro, and making a flap. Also added stainless steel hardware to keep things in place. The only remaining task now is to add some weights to the bottom pocket.
