Does anybody remember or know how much material it takes to recover the
bunk bed couch and the dinette seats? Thought it was here somewhere, but
can't find it in any of my search attempts.

Thanks,

I think I remember Mike Teets(?) did a good job documenting his reupholstery. And it was entertaining too!

One thing to watch out for is material for the welting - it takes a surprising amount. If you're using fabric with a pattern, it is usually better to cut the welting on the bias. Usually 45 degrees, but choose what looks best to you.
On a project I'm in the middle of now, the seats for a 65 Dart, the vinyl was really expensive so I fiqured the amount very tight. Too tight as it turned out and had no room for welting and had to go without. It's OK since I just couldn't pop for more of this 'special' vinyl, tho it would have been better. Just something to think about when planning your upholstery.

Thanks to both of you! Your skills at retrieving information are amazing.
Exactly what I needed.
Going from classroom teaching to long distance teaching special needs stuff
ts is making me brain dead - so much more work for everyone, teachers,
parents and students.
