Helen did a fabulous job transforming her old red chair into this beauty! She used a classic print fabric with contrast piping. Lots of skills learnt on this one ! Thanks to Kat for giving Helen excellent tuition.

What an amazing job ! These chairs are often overlooked because they look dated. But with some tlc and a bit of work they can look great. They’re also ideal to learn new upholstery skills. If you would like to turn your chair from frumpy to fabulous, join one of our upholstery courses, you’ll have fun and leave with a beautiful new chair ! Thanks Kat 😊

These are the questions I get asked most often by people who want to join my upholstery classes.
Questions about sewing, upholstery tools and course start dates. Hopefully this helps and if you have any questions, just ask ! Time to get your favourite chair recovered and learn a new skill !

First day back for upholstery students today, so I had an early start to make sure everything was ready, then time for a quiet coffee with Willow before everyone arrived
