Product Information

Take your love of fabric to the next level and transform your home with this bright and accessible book for upholstery newcomers. The Beginner's Guide to Upholstery takes you gently by the hand and shows you the simple techniques you need to take the leap into DIY upholstery. Far from being a dry, technical, traditional upholstery manual, this beginner-friendly book presents 10 achievable upholstery and re-upholstery projects using modern materials and methods. In jargon-free, plain-English terms, talented upholsterer and workshop teacher Vicky Grubb takes you step-by-step through the process of upholstering desirable pieces of furniture found at antique markets, street sales and thrift stores, which are all upcycled and given a modern twist. Projects range from a simple stool, vintage sewing box, and blanket box to a fluted headboard, Danish dining chair, patchwork armchair and a mid-century sofa, all guided by the author's down-to-earth instruction. Alongside each project, you can also watch Vicky upholstering each item in a series of unique time-lapse videos.|The Beginner's Guide to Upholstery takes you gently by the hand and shows you the simple techniques you need to bring your love of fabric to upholstered items for the home. Not a dry, highly technical professional upholstery manual, this bright and accessible book presents 10 simple projects using modern methods.

You too can upholster
Good descriptions of how to upholster, with plenty of illustrations. Makes you feel confident you could do it. Wanted it as a refresher because it’s a long time since I upholstered anything and I’m planning to work on an armchair in the coming months.

Extremely useful
I have done one of two basic projects in the past but having a step by step guide to refer to is reassuring and this book is very well laid out.
