Nicely done, I think maybe Captain Scott and I are going to have to put our talents together and see if we can maybe knock out a couple sets for our boats too. I seem to recall Captain Scott had a sewing machine and the ability to make it sew too. 
Thanks for the photos and inspiration,

I'd like to give it a try one day!
I am contemplating a nice coach top cover for Lady Jo though.
. . . . or maybe a boat cover . . .

ALL of my c26 cushions were redone by my girlfriends mom. She offered thinking it would be an easy job, but by the time she was done with all 18 of them, she said she will never recover cushions again!
They look great though, covered in a navy blue microswade.

NICE! How much material did it take?

I bought 13 yards of 4 ft wide outdoor vinyl fabric for half price 7.49/yd at an outlet center so with taxes it was about $105, but I've only used half the fabric.
I think you all are over-estimating the amount of work that was put into this. The way these cushions are covered:
-Removed old cover
-Placed cushions on a 1/4" OSB 4 x 8 and traced them out, then cut
-Then she just pulled the fabric over the cushions and used a staple gun to fix it to the OSB board beneath, and I think they came out really nice for as cheap as the job was.
I don't know how moist it will get in the boat... so perhaps I will have to glue another piece of fabric to the underneath to create a completely sealed cushion.
