Crafting the Perfect Bolstered Backrest Cushion

In this video, we reupholstered a bolster-style backrest cushion. This cushion uses flanges with a hook-and-loop fastener system to secure it to a solid surface. We used the old fabric pieces as pattern templates for the new fabric panels, which we made from Outdura® Upholstery Fabric. Consider making this type of bolstered backrest cushion for your boat, home or RV. You can order the supplies you need from Sailrite®.
