Excellent video. Thank you for the suggestion of using a duvet cover and taking the time to video the steps of covering those cushions. Thanks to you I have a clear understanding of how to cover my peeling RV cushions. 💕
Absolutely brilliant. I think those of us who voted to keep the old covers were just wanting a bit of colour. You have certainly chosen very well indeed. I would just say don’t go for gold stripes on the walls or anything that would be just too much and ruin the effect. Very well done Rick xx
Merry Christmas Rick.. So happy you re-covered those cushions, my gran had that pattern in the 70's she loved them, Teasing.. great job buddy... Love from us both
I absolutely enjoyed your process and how you worked it out. I’ve also done some buttoning and instead of tea towels on the back side to pull the button on the front tight, I used a smaller button on the back and was able to get it nice and tight. The tea towel method was good though! I love new to me ideas to use materials on hand. The fabric you chose is gorgeous, I love it! I think the backsplash would look better with hexagon tiles now with that fabric but that’s my opinion and it’s off topic lol.
Fantastic transformation Rick, you’ve done a brilliant job. The whole build has turned out so well. It’s been very entertaining and informative. Great job mate !! Best Wishes Tim 😊👍
Wow! That's an amazing transformation! Cracking job! My dear old mum was a nurse, I was taught hospital corners 🤣 not heard that in years! It's all fitted sheets now!
That's a great job, when you opened the packet to open the duvet I thought it was awful but the finished job is fabulous and looks great in situ. I shall now do mine the same as I have 30 year old floral fabric on my camper.
loved watchng your first build, and even more your latest ,will miss your shower room but can understand your reason, just watched the cushion revamp how clever of you as an avid sewer i take my hat off to your job excellent. margaret from scotland.
The way you hacked into it made me nervous Rick! I don't have your gumption 😂 but love that you made it your own and it makes you happy .. and it's a great finish! What a brilliant van make over ☕🍃
Hi Rick, I took your idea and have purchased duvet covers with German Shepherds on for my dog theme camper; I even had buttons made using the same fabric. Amazing idea and one I’m grateful for you sharing, good work.
That looks really good Rick! I had to reupholster my partners piano stool a couple of years ago beacause when it arrived new it stank of amonea for some bizzar reason! I had to cut a new base, and wash the foam. That was quite a learning expirence and that was just for one tiny cushion!
Hi Rick, Absolutely brilliant job you did recovering your cushion which like you say Not only saves money, but you can have it exactly how you want it, and it looks really nice as it adds some vibrant colour to your new van build as well as the duvet it looks amazing and very professional! 😊
damn clever and blingy rick smashing mate beats what was there before and such a great cheap easy cover solution with duvet cover matching well done pal.
I love the new covers! I think they tie in perfectly to the van. The goldish yellow ties into some of the colors on some of the signs on the wall so all looks great together! And I say don't add any more gold stripes!
The only thing I would change, is the stick on's on the back splash. Maybe go with more of a solid blue, one that would match one of the blues of the duvet?
I was dubious about you dying the covers incase you ruined them, but the new upholstered covers you brilliantly made look fab! I also thought about the bling buttons scratching your behind😂(just make sure you have pants on!)😂👍
Merry Christmas Rick. I hope you had a great day. Your skill set never fails to amaze me. A great job and it looks brilliant. Adds some real colour to the van without overwhelming the grey. A great job well done!
I was wondering myself why you hadn't originally thought about just stapling the back cover on Rick. Not sure if you know but you can get stainless steel staples, we used this same method years ago in my old friends sailing boat but went SS staples, this was because of the salty environment. It looks great, nothing wrong with a touch of VIP bling Rick 😉🥂👊!
Looks clean and tidy and great! Won’t be hard wearing but don’t think that’s a massive issue for occasional use plus as you say easily re-done. Will sunglasses be supplied for visitors?
Hey Ricky looking great m8. I wonder how much it would of cost you for a company to put the same interior in the same way as you have done... I'd say you probley saved yourself around 2 grand
Not sure Rick. That clashes as bad as the old cover with its gold geometric linear design. At best it matches your VIP lounge sign. I would have at least redone the buttons & lined up the pattern with the pattern on the top cushion so that they match. A safer look would be to choose a plain cover the same colour as your cab curtains without a pattern, as it would look less busy & its less trouble having to line up a pattern. You said it yourself that bold colours (or design) means you tire of them quicker. BTW, i don't know who suggested yellow works with grey but id definitely question their dress sense 👀😜😁
