Couldn't figure out how to do the piping so I didn't - didn't go canvas - used the patterned matterial all the way around - it looks ok but not even as cool as it could had it been done right with piping and black canvas - I was also quoted professional prices of between $100 and $150 a cushion. I had to cut down the cushions and they didn't come out so perfect. If you guys do have a class in re-upholstering I might reconsider re-doing them one more time, but this last time I spent like $25/yard so it may be awhile before I decide to "retire" these. Of course, maybe I can keep the tops and just redo the sides and bottom with canvas?
