YAY! Now it gets fun! I covered the deck with a piece of new batting, then I used that strapy-thing to hold it down...it holds it down right there to give the cushions a place to rest. :) After taking the deck fabric off I used it as a template for my NEW deck fabric, sewed my two pieces together, and put it on the couch. Then I stapled it all in place....isn't it looking great!!?
