Reweave Upholstery O'Day 34

[Dennis Callahan]

I own a 1983 O'Day 34 with original Tan/Cream zig-zag upholstery. Stored cushions in the garage for winter and mice chewed a softball size hole. I would like to have it rewoven or find anyone who could tell me how to find the same fabric. I don't know how to acomplish either.
I could use the fabric from the center cushion in the "V" berth, but I stiil dont know where to get fabric patched and not look patched. Anyone know where I could get that piece rewoven?
Ideas would be appreciated. I am in Chicago.

Patching old cushions

Dennis,

I cannot give you any place to find material
other than recommend you ask Rudy
at D&R.

Consider redoing the damaged cushion
in a similar and contrasting material?

But any material 24 years old will be
hard to work with. One new cushion
would be livable.

Years ago tailors could reweave holes
in suits. Maybe an upholstery shop would
be able to do the same?

I suspect a new cover would be easiest
and cheapest.
