I see by the responses that my razor-sharp communications have, as usual,
only served to bleed me :{/) I'm looking to find where to look for interior patterns. Once found, I presume I'll be able to buy them in various places. Without knowing what's available, we'd chase all over here and yon before finding something we liked. So, someone in the business surely would know where and how to see patterns for Sunbrella interior fabrics on line. Sorry for the ill-communicated request...

... Have you checked the Sunbrella website? I went first to Sunbrella.com - but was not very successful in finding *interior* fabrics. That's been the challenge - I've seen, and can easily find (and may also, once pointed, be able easily to find interior stuff) exterior stuff. However, anything looking like furniture or interior always seemed to be related to patio stuff. That they hired someone (part of the google search so helpfully suggested by another poster about 1000 hits after my going directly to Sunbrella.com proved unfruitful) just to do interior suggests they must have a significant range of patterns - the over-a-year-old press release referred to more than 150 - but I haven't yet tripped on them. Anyway, what prompted the original post was that one of the folks who has been fairly active on these fora in past years has a business which does this sort of thing; it was his mention of such fabrics, now, very long ago, which prompted my search. My failure is what prompted my ping. Are you he?

L8R Skip and Lydia On the left side of the page they list different uses. If you look you can find floral prints. What do you want to do with the fabric? Upholstery, awnings, curtains? http://www.outdoortextiles.com/browsesunbrella.php |
It looks like the website only has a few of the furniture fabrics
listed. Our sample book has about 150 or so. If you call Glenn Raven Mills or one of the distributors I would think they could loan you a book.

The good thing about Sunbrella is the UV resistance and you don't need that inside. We've used regular double woven upholstery fabric with vinyl or some plastic fabric on the bottoms of the cushions in the salon. That is, the tops and welting on the cushions is the upholstery fabric and the bottom side is waterproof. That's the way the cushions were originally and we've kept it that way.

I remember the term for that kind of fabric - Jacquards. Something similar to: http://www.outdoorfabrics.com/show_f...abric=45070-06 Actually someone we know told us about a fabric store that was going out of business (really final, not just periodical) and they had Sunbrella, which we bought some of to do winch covers etc., and I found dark jacquards with a small pattern, like dark blue with a lighter weave of some color - mostly geometric patterns. I couldn't get enough to do all the cushions in the boat, so I got three different patterns - one for the V-berth, one for the main saloon and one for the aft cabin. I don't see why they all have to been the same anyway. However, anything looking like furniture or interior always seemed to be related to patio stuff.

We usually make the bottoms of the cushions out of a mesh like
Textilene. That was any trapped water can drain out rather than puddle and eventually rot the cushion. Doug s/v Callista "Rosalie B." wrote in message ...

Doug s/v Callista Well the original cushions were 20 years old and have not rotted. I'm talking about mattresses in the cabins and the cushions on the settee in the saloon not the cockpit cushions. We replaced the insides when we reupholstered because they were getting a bit 'limp' and the PO's guest burnt a hole in the main saloon one. "Rosalie B." wrote in message .. .

For cockpit cushions we usually make them totally out of
Textilene and use AquaBatten as the foam. That way when they get wet, the water just drains right out of them. Doug s/v Callista "Rosalie B." wrote in message ...

Well if what we did doesn't work, it will probably last longer than we
do anyway. And if not, we'll just make new cushions.

All depends upoin the environment. We had some brand new
salon cushions that were fine when we left B'more, but by the time we got to the Delaware River they had mildewed. Rain all the way. Another risk is shrinkage (not the George Kastanza type :). Our salon cushions have been on for years. Decided last winter to remove them and wash them. The material was supposed to be preshrunk, WRONG! Now all our cushions are somewhat small. Oh Well.
