Please describe the project specifications

Custom seat and back cushions for curved, angled flybridge settee.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

Client wanted to bring the flybridge settee up to date and better fit their style.


What is unique or complex about the project?

Curves, angles, stripes and a rise....YIKES! Challenging to say the least.


What were the results of the project?

Our client's note of thanks says it all...

"Just a short note and thank you for your company’s professionalism and attention to detail with a very discriminating client of mine.

Little Bay Canvas has always been my “go to” canvas makers for normal canvas pieces but last fall I had a very nice 2007 Grand Banks Eastbay 47 under contract with a buyer from Texas. Since we are located in Virginia Beach, Virginia communication was key to make this very successful gentleman and his wife happy.

As Angel and I moved through the process of trying to come up with a “classic and stylish look” for this rather plain fly bridge seating area it was apparent the clients would not accept anything but the best and picked some difficult patterns both for exterior pieces as well as interior soft goods.

Your company’s communication with the client and photos throughout the process made this a great project and the results were magnificent. The whole project turned out beautiful. The customer was ecstatic and left for their trip to Florida on a personalized new boat to enjoy.

Thank you again and looking forward to the next challenge!"
