The cold snap slowed everything down. No heat in the garage. I did accomplish a little more.

V-berth cushions were easy to finish. Next was cabinets above settee





I decided to use batting and white vinyl to wrap some of the wood.

Next was the cushions. The seat cushion was easy.

Then the backrest was started.

Got all the sewing done. Learned a lesson. Decided to start over on it. Supersoft foam does not push the material out as nice as stiffer foam. But as it is more comfy. I feel it is worth a little agrivation.
  Then the cold weather hit. It got into the teens a couple nights. Some nights in the 20's.
  Finally warmed up. Fixed a couple port windows that sprang a leak. Drove down to Myrtle Beach SC to check in with boss at Showstopper.  All is well.
  Visited Meher Baba center on return. Was very restful.
  So now for the pieces I have been waiting on. The press and snap screws came last week.



Finally the durasnaps and dies.

Remember seeing these in Auto upholstery? Remember I said I am going to be vinyl wrapping some of the interior wood? Yes. Marine grade vinyl. It is going to brighten things up by the time I am done.

I should have the settee side done and  be starting on the booth side by the end of next week.
