I'm trying to find material to sew new velvet upholstery for the three pieces of my forward berth. Anyone tackled this one or know of a source?

Any good furniture upholsterer will have access to anything that you might want. All of my cabin cushions plus some new ones are being done now. I changed from the stock velvety stuff to SunBrella. It is a very durable fabric that comes in an amazing array of designs. It makes the interior much more "dirty sailor" friendly.

When we redid our interior we bought our fabric from a local upholstry supply shop. We picked the fabrics from a book of samples and then ordered as much as we needed plus a little extra. We were able to get just what we wanted. In the v berth and quarter berth we used a materials with a velvet type finish. It is holding up well and cleans easily. At the dinette we used a fake leather that keeps drips out of the cushions. On the bottom of all we used a mesh fabric to allow the cushions to drain and dry if they do get wet.
