I am interested in re-covering my interior... any suggestions on where to find factory coverings

Why factory?

I recovered my cabin cushions this year. I used heavy cotton shower clothes, believe it or not! $12 a piece, each 60 x 72 inch cloth covers one settee. Total cost, $24. Total time investment, 2 hours. And they look great. I chose white with blue pin stripes running horizontally. Justin - O'day Owners' Web

Justin, How did you fit them?

Justin, sounds like something I would do -- a creative and cheap alternative. The shower-curtain fabric is made to withstand moisture, too. Just wondering -- how did you 'fit' and secure them over the setees? Was a sewing machine involved in this project? The upholstery on the boat we are buying is in fairly good condition, but I'd like to make a cover of sorts for the berths -- like a fitted sheet but without the cost of having custom sheets made. Also, any suggestions on the best way to give the existing upholstery a general good cleaning? I have a home-use carpet/upholstery shampooer but worry about getting the cushions too wet, unless we can them home and let them thoroughly dry. I've always liked a foam upholstery cleaner that you spray on then vacuum -- Blue Coral Dry Cleaning Fluid (usually buy in the automotive section) -- would that be a better choice? Thanks! (We close on the boat this Wednesday!)
