reupholstering




Hi y'all.  A while back I reupholstered a bar stool/chair.  Quite the endeavor!  There was a lot of sweating and cursing.  Ideally, you should be able to take off whatever upholstery is on there, make a pattern from it and pretty simply stitch together the new covering, slip it over and staple away.  Mine require a little more effort because the new cloth wasn't as stretchy as the old cloth.  I had to make an additional seem around the lumbar area.  In the end, it was well worth the effort.  A great way to reclaim an old piece of furniture!
