This is the manual for anyone who wants to become a skilled upholsterer!
If you want to get started in upholstery or learn how to correctly re-upholster your furniture, this is the perfect place to start!
The techniques in this book are taught through a series of 15 progressive projects for a variety of furniture pieces, accompanied by full-color step-by-step photographs and illustrations. You'll learn basic upholstery techniques including stripping furniture, webbing, tying springs, stuffing, and making cutting plans, in a comprehensive beginner's section. Information on tools, materials, and fabric is also included, as well as where to buy furniture and what to look out for.
Of the 15 step-by-step projects, the first eight are basic skills projects which collectively explain the key skills needed to complete any upholstery task that might arise. These novice projects include a drop-in-bottom chair, a pin-cushion seat, an overstuffed seat, an overstuffed chair with springs, a deep-buttoned stool, caning (replacing a cane seat on an antique chair), a box cushion, and recovering a modern chair. The remaining seven projects involve the application of skills you learned and practiced in the first chapter. The pieces featured are an Art Deco armchair, a classic armchair, a wing chair, a tub chair, a Victorian chaise longue (aka a "chaise lounge"), a drop-arm sofa, and a buttoned leather chesterfield.
The aim of this book is to get straight into the projects, giving you hands-on experience in upholstery! There is information on the tools and materials needed, a quick overview of the key skills, where to look for furniture that you can upholster, and advice on choosing fabric. This informative book takes a concise and progressive approach to teaching upholstery, giving you the confidence to try your hand at fixing your own furniture!
