Please describe the project specifications

Our customer had requested a custom fit boat cover for their 1985 Caribbean Jet Boat that could travel down the road, while matching the color scheme of the boat. We were able to match the color of the boat well using 'Pumpkin' colored Recacril, and included a white "racing stripe" at the customer's request. Forsythia colored thread from Coats was also used in areas where hems and darts were needing to be sewn.


What is unique or complex about the project?

What set this project apart from others that we have completed this year is the fact that we used a different fabric than we normally would to match the color of the boat as close as possible, which is hard to find modern day colors that match an item that's almost 50 years old. Building unique and customized items like this boat make projects that much more exciting, and gives a personality to the cover.
