These types of tasks are fascinating for any lover of furniture design and it's something that can be extremely useful in many situations. For example, I love leather sofas, but this time my wife and I decided to go with a Ducaroy sofa fabric boucle that we ordered from Manhattan Home Design because we loved the pristine white hue of its finish, but if we decide to switch back to leather some day, I hope I can do it myself. Thanks for the tutorial!

Been upholstering since 1985 , bit sometimes it’s just nice to,watch others doing it and I’m still learning bits many years later. the info on the tightening of the springs at the beginning was really useful. Lovely upholstering, think you might need to treat yourself to a Bambi silent air compressor though! Mine is perfect for my small garage workshop. When it kicks in, it is as quiet as a fridge. Hope business is ruining good for you, I’m always booking 12 weeks ahead !

[@crystaljeys1175]

Do you absolutely have to remove the back and sides of the sofa to pull the fabric for recovering arms and seat through? For instance, if I have a sofa that the only thing that needs replacing is the seat and the rest is going to be left the same? Or the only thing to replace is the side and the rest left alone? I like the look of a seat that is permanent and tacked using nailhead trim as well.

Great videos and thanks for the tool list with links With the price of sofas at the moment, as I worked with an upholsterer for a few weeks some 30 years ago - my wife wants me to look at building a bespoke ‘basic’ sofa for an awkward space and a large family… Have you got any advice on material ( I’m currently looking at eBay! ) and foam ( I’m looking a durafoam on eBay as Leicester shops are very expensive) Also, what are your thoughts on using mdf for the frame. The frame will be square and low. Cheers.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Darren! I would normally make our sofa frames out of solid beech wood but it doesn’t stop those hightstreet brands from making theirs out of MDF, chipboard and the like with a little bit of hardwood thrown in for the odd support 😉 so it can be done but I would be thrown in upholstery jail if I recommended you do it 🤣 I get all my sundries from Martin’s and Livedale (if you’re in the UK) Fabrics I get from upholstery fabric suppliers but you tend to need accounts with them to order from them (and are trade only). But as long as the fabric you buy is upholstery fabric - you should be good. Hope this helps 😊👍🏻

Thanks for tutorials how much fabric did you use covering this sofa please, I have a three seater similar to this and a chair I want to cover feel more confident watching your video 😀

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Debbie, thank you for watching - I’m glad you find them helpful! I believe it was roughly 12 metres of fabric for this sofa 😊👍🏻

[@ellenarae8023]

Your channel has been so helpful, thank you! I want to upholster our two seater slipcover sofa but I don’t think the fabric I want has the width to go across the back in one piece like yours did. You mentioned piecing fabric, is there a specific place/way this should be done? Also, if I use upholstery velvet do I need to cut my pieces with the velvet going all the same way? Thanks :)

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Ellenarae! Thank you for watching my videos, I’m glad you find them helpful 😊 So there’s a couple of options you could do with the outside back if you can’t get it out of one width - firstly you could run the fabric, which means turning it so the pile goes side to side instead of down...however, like you asked, if you do this the rest of the pieces you cut should all be going the same way with the pile otherwise you run the risk of the fabric looking different colours or shades. Secondly, you could sew a seam down the middle of the outside pack if you don’t want to run the fabric sideways. Finally, you could use a full width on the back and then piece two smaller even sized pieces of fabric either end...again, you’d sew those and would have two seams. It just depends what you find easier and what look you’d rather have! I hope this makes sense and is helpful 😊👍🏻

[@ellenarae8023]

@@faceliftinteriors gathering supplies for my project! can i ask about the deck. What kind of material should i use for the lining (the black fabric you used) and when you sew the front deck strip to the lining fabric are you sewing the hessian webbing to the bottom of those as well and leaving the ends long to staple down? then when it comes to fitting you put on the front deck strip, flap over the lining fabric, staple down the hessian and then lash through all three layers (just behind the seam line?), Hope that makes sense!

Is it easy for an upholsterer to put new longer legs on a sofa? Also, do upholsterers normally pick up from you and deliver your sofa when it’s done? Great video! I love the tee-off effects!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi! Yes you are able to change the legs on a sofa as long as the blocks in the corners of the sofa are big enough to fit the new legs. Yes normally upholsterers should collect and deliver your sofa to you as part of the service. We do 😁 Thanks so much for watching and for your comment - you have a great ear to know that’s a tee-off sound 😁👍🏻

I just bought a second hand couch we didn’t realise it has fixed bottom cushions. How would you add foam to a fixed cushion?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! Apologies for the delay in replying! Unfortunately, you would have to remove the cushions to add foam 😬

[@tamihoward8668]

What type of fabric is the black fabric used between the bottom cushions and the frame? You added 6+ inches of the couch fabric and then hand stitched to the frame. Thanks!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Tami - I used black lining fabric on the seat, which was sewn to the upholstery fabric. I hope that helps!

[@tamihoward8668]

This is good shit… I want to upgrade my couch cushions. My wife insists we buy a new couch but she doesn’t realize she’s complaining about the crap foam that came with it. There’s no support. You sit and the cushion compresses like crazy. I gotta research how to build cushions

Any chance of doing a mini tutorial for buttoning an arm on a chesterfield style sofa?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Jane! As soon as I get one in, I’ll make sure I do a tutorial for you 😊

[@mervcharles8365]

Where did he get that first piece of arm rest fabric from? Did he make that?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! I took the old fabric from the arm and used that as a template to cut the new fabric and sewed it before putting it on.

What kind of spray adhesive do you use?

Hi Christina - I get mine from Martin’s or Livedale - I use heavy duty spray adhesive 😊👍🏻

[@semosancus5506]

How do you handle the cushions that sewn into the back of the couch?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Semo, cushions that are sewn in are a lot more difficult as they all have to be sewn in as one piece, and it involves taking a lot of fabric off to get to the seats. If you are going too attempt this always follow the original patterns. 👍🙏📎✂️📐⛏️🧵

[@semosancus5506]

@@faceliftinteriors Thanks for the response & thanks for all your videos. This couch project is something that I'm looking at out on the horizon somewhere so I'm just trying to get my head around how to upholster. I could potentially just use detached pillows on the reupholster. Probably would simplify the job. It is a sectional coach so I figured they used attached pillows to more easily keep them in place.

[@Kyrious]

Been thinking of redoing a couch that has sat around for 7 years in storage. It’s not a old couch and it already has sentimental value. Just needs a face lift to clean it up.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Exactly! Give it a Face Lift 😉👍🏻

What you’ve called “Selvage” is just called “bulk” in the US. Here (and I believe there), “selvage” is the *side of the fabric weave where the shuttle turns around, usually strengthened to stay straight. YMMV
