SMS should have some.

I just received a sample and a quote from SMS for my '84 Blazer. $149 a yard...I was stunned. I've never done a reupholstery job before. I need 5 yards for both front seats and the rear. I could not believe the price for a yard of fabric. Think I'll be doing some cheapo seat covers for the time being.
