@textilestechs & textile gurus - any assistance you can give will be very much appreciated.
I’m looking for some guidance concerning a waterproof cover I wish to make for my corner bench. I’d like to know what the best material would be and how best to go about achieving my aim.
I’m looking to buy some waterproof material and cut and stitch a bespoke cover for my corner bench. I’d like to sew in some sort of fasteners (poppers, or the like). I’d also like to try and follow the contours of the bench, so the cover fits over it snugly as opposed to fitting over it as a ‘box’ if that makes sense? Best way I can describe what I mean is when you have a car cover that is essentially car shaped with recesses for wing mirrors etc. I want the cover to be ‘L’ shaped and to originate on top of the bench, attaching to the bottom slat of the fence, then come down the seat backs, turning along the bench seat itself and then hanging over the edge of the seat where it’ll be fastened down. I assume each change of direction witll need a seam sewn in order to make this possible?
I’ve posted a pic for reference. I understand this is something that’ll probably be best discussed in person, so if anyone is around over the next week I can pop down if you’ll allow me to pick your brains.
Thanks everyone.
