Whether you've ever done any upholstering at home or not doesn't matter. This detailed, easy-to-follow book gives you all the facts and directions you need to cre ate, repair, and remodel your upholstered furnishings right in your own home. It covers the tools you need (some of which you can make yourself), the frames, the materials, and advises which used furniture to select for reupholstering.
The complete construction of a piece of upholstery is shown right through to the muslin casing. Every step and every tool used is illustrated with practical drawings and instructive photographs. (There are more than 350 photographs and diagrams throughout this book.) Then the final cover is taken up: measuring the material, plotting and cutting, sewing, covering, cushions, pillows, and slip covers.
Leather upholstery is presented in five excellent chapters on channeling, tufting, covering stools, ottomans, benches, and sofas. Special chapters are devoted to re-covering, repairing, and re-styling beds and miscellaneous pieces, with helpful hints on the care and cleaning of upholstered furniture. A handy index helps you find specific information in a jiffy.
