I am going to be recovering and refilling our cushions on the v-berth and the berth under the helm. I am adept at sewing and have help for the larger pieces. I am just looking for a yardage estimate if anyone has had some of these pieces recovered. Any estimate is appreciated! Joann is having a great sale on indoor/outdoor fabrics and I'd like to make the purchase while the price stands. The boat is housed a few hours from home, so a trip to measure is not on the calendar yet. I did a search on the forum and couldn't find exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks!

Not a big fan of Joannes, but you get 40% off every day on one item, by having their app on your phone, or going to their website when you check out, and having the 40% off QR code ready to scan. 10 yards of fabric counts as one item, as long as it’s a single cut.
There are a few exclusions, but not many, although things already on sale probably is one of them.

Any other online retailers? I'm just looking for interior - but using indoor/outdoor fabric. I'm looking at Solarium brand or Sunbrella. Solarium has the pattern/colors I prefer, but I'm not sure about their printed polyester. Decisions!

The estimate for the work I had done was 15 yards for the main material and 7.5 yards for the mesh backing.

2003 express. That is for all the cushions including the bench and table.
