Upholstery Basics: Reupholster a Side Chair

Start your upholstery journey with this beginner-friendly and practical project: reupholstering a dining chair seat. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of slip seat upholstery, including how to tear down and re-cover a seat cushion using the versatile wrap-and-staple method. This technique can be applied to many types of furniture, such as side chairs, bar stools, ottomans, headboards, and more. A practice chair will be provided for in-class use. If you’d prefer to bring your own chair, please email photos to Carolyn at [email protected] as early as possible so she can confirm it's appropriate for the course.
