While we were landlubbers I took the opportunity to give our cushions an overhaul. I kept the foam, but added polyfill for softness and went WAY put of my comfort zone by working with expensive Ultraleather fabric to fashion the new covers. This time, I also replaced the entire covers and even moved some zippers! Ultraleather was actually quite easy to work with once I got over the urge to cry every time I cut it! It took about a month and a half to complete around work, sports, and vacation once I set myself to it, but I'm so happy I did it!

| I moved the zipper AND hid it on this one. |

| The cushion from hell. |
 |
| Inner corners, outer corners, curves, and a huge zipper = cushion from hell. |
 |
| So many curves! The Captain's homebrew kept me going! |
 |
| The curves came out alright! |

| A "test fit" in the living room. |

| Ta da! I'm pretty pleased with the result! |
