My motorhome patterned fabric squab cover has a 2" hole chewed in it by mice, how would you suggest repairing that? Trigano (Italy) have not replied to my request for a small sample of the fabric - and it's probably been out of production for 8 years.

hmmm.... Its worth looking into for you, Do you have any pictures?

I did have, but can't find them now. I may take a couple tomorrow. The good lady has patched it with a plain material, but it is very different from the rest of the upholstery. I did consider, recovering a wall panel with vinyl to use the matching material from that but we didn't get that far.

Good luck with this you are pushing at an open door.
Trying to anything done in the marine cover /upholstery world is a very slow process.
Just bring up the subject in any boaty environment.
We have one club member who had a considerable number of expensive covers made for his boat.
He had some trials and tribulations getting some details finished and small bits never turned up at all.
After trying to get the chap back for ages,gave up, is still waiting to pay for a complete set of covers that need the odd Dzues clip and popper fitted..
