Hey, I know how you felt !! I had the most wonderful Lazyboy Swivel Rocker I found at a yard sale and gave $2 for. It was comfy and I loved it. A couple of years went by and I decided I wanted to reupholster it, never having done one like this before.....it was a disaster from the first. I ended up having a chair in pieces for 6 months, partially reupholstered, in my living room. I got so frustrated I ended up throwing it away. I SO loved that chair....and now I'm afraid to tackle another one. I simply bit off more than I could chew and was arrogant enough to not take as much care as I needed, but you have done it a little differently. Shows what a real professional can do! Thanks from a newly humbled fake reupholsterer! Wonderful mastery of that recliner!😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One piece of furniture had horsehair bonded in latex for a filler. The bonding cane apart.

@nomebear Ай бұрын

The design is possibly by Jean-Michele Frank, a French furniture designer. His lounge chairs are boxy with a slant much like this. Ours were upholstered in aligator, and from the 30's.

Good to see someone not wasting fabric, too many video's show pattern pieces slapped in the middle of fabric, and the grain lines running in all different directions! Don't get me started on cutting velvet haha Impressive sewing skills there Mr, nice topstitching!! Those underneath corners, might have benefited from a 45 degree curve sewn in? maybe...

@DMWinterburn 2 ай бұрын

Why thank you. I appreciate it. Laying and cutting is important to me. I dont see the need to fill up waste bins and remnant bins. Thanks for noticing and yes I should have 45-ed but I tend to cut a few corners when the budget is low. D

Another fabulous job!! I could watch your video's all day!! Just one question, why so many staples on each layer, when there are 3 layers? OK 2... Would the buttons not have tied onto the springs at the back? I nearly shit myself when you were cutting the seat wadding out, I thought it was the fabric lol It was only seeing your new video, it reminded me I hadn't replied to your reply, on my comment about the sound of the needle. I was basically thrown on an industrial sewing machine from the age of 8ish. I'd shown an interest, we had one in the back room as mum occasionally worked from home, and also made my sister, me and herself all matching clothes, this was the 70's lol It then turned into a family business, with a workforce of about 40 sewers plus others, eg packing, pressing etc. Sounded like a new needle, but maybe a little thick hahaha sorry much love Jacq in the U.K Oh nearly forgot, friends bought a chair, I'm sure it was the same one, and footstool, from Facebook for £50, other friends of theirs' asked them did they realise what they had.... apparently, it was worth a fortune, in the thousands. It was leather and tan/brown from what I can remember. Their friend kept offering them lots of money to buy it, but they wouldn't because of the comfort hahaha

@DMWinterburn 3 ай бұрын

Oh Hello there. Thanks for tucking into my latest video. I used a few extra staples to flatten the layers, they were getting pretty thick, especially when adding the piping which is essentially another 2 layers. You have a good set of ears there, you were right, the needle did have a burr from sewing over chain zips. I actually brought this chair back with me from the UK. I was set up in oxford in 2012, driving around the country side looking for amazing scandi and Mid Century furniture to restore and ultimately bring back to NZ. D

Haven't finished the video yet but I had to ask before I forgot. What language were you counting in? I am new here, sorry Iif you have already answered this question. Also wanted to say it is incredible how much work it took to just deconstruct the chair, and you made it look so easy. Sure sign of a professional.

Hey Dale, I do, but I pick And choose where a mask is needed most as carbon monoxide recirculation from having a mask on for long periods isn't healthy either. And yes I do have a full mask with pumped air and carbon filtration. But thats overkill for most of my work. See you in the next vid. D
