Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors

I come from 3 generations of upholsterers. This tutorial was perfect! No useless talk, and well executed steps right down to pointing out to make sure that piping join was not going to show. Your channel will be my first recommendation to anyone asking for help.

[@faceliftinteriors]

This is the biggest compliment, thank you so much 😊🙏🏻

Once again you saved my life ! I didn't know how to make a template for a cushion going on an old 'Louis XVI cabriolet' I had been working on for a while. I was stuck (having very few imagination !) with the problem. Now you've also taught me how to make the cushion and all that. A big thank you and a hug from France.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Luke! I’m really glad you found the video helpful 😊🙏🏻 good luck with your Louis and best wishes to France 🇫🇷 👋🏻

[@debbielagrange6058]

I learn every time I watch you. I have some trouble measuring cushions, but not anymore! Thanks!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Ahh glad to hear it Debbie! Thank you do much for watching 😊

[@jeffbrowne5724]

I love your tuts! You're very informative and fun to watch. Thanks for the upholstery and sewing knowledge!

Thanks Jeff 🙏✂️📐🧵☺️

[@JessakaeScott]

Wow. This was so thorough. I really hope I can make my cushions well after all of this help! Thank you!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Glad it was helpful, hope all goes well 🙌🤗🙏😊✂️✂️🪡🧷

[@andiesmith9462]

Thank you so much for a brilliant tutorial. Following your tutorial - which I know now I think off by heart - I have completed reupholstering our C shaped window seat with piping and zip. Could not have done it without your fantastic video. Thank you so much.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Andie! I’m so glad you found the video helpful and it helped you to do your own rounded cushion, that’s so great to hear! 😊

[@MrPaulTomlin]

Hi Neil, Just wanted to say thank you. My first trade was upholstery. I did a traditional upholstery apprenticeship in the late 1970's, got a City and Guilds, but after 5 or 6 years I switched to chasing the white gold that was double glazing!!!! Fast forward 40+ years and I'm looking to dust off my tools and start again. Your videos are FANTASTIC and just what I've been looking for to knock off the rust, fill my knowledge gaps and get me up to date. Plus, you are a proper craftsman, don't have an irritating US accent and you appear to be a Spurs fan! COYS! Nice one and thanks again.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there!! Yes I’m a Spurs fan for my sins 🤣 This is a really lovely comment, thank you so much! I’m sure it won’t take long for you to get back into the swing of it and most importantly of all, enjoy it! Im glad my videos are of some help to you - that’s a great thing to hear. I wish you all the best!

[@tebiggs03]

Oh my gosh !! You are giving me courage to do this rattan dining chair project x 4. I've been stuck on. Thank You so much !!!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Tracy! That’s great to hear!! Good luck with your project and thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 😊

Flipping heck, i thought this bit would be easier, i was wrong lol. Made the frame of a barrel chair and finished the inside ready for the outside but first i need to do the front panel and i'm running out of fabric lol. This is going to take some supreme working out to get the piping and side bits of the cushion. Loving the challenge and it's really comfy, really appreciate your help buddy!

[@faceliftinteriors]

That’s great to hear Steven! If you’ve got that far on your first try, that’s impressive! Thank you for watching and glad you found it helpful 😊👍🏻

[@mrintomesee]

@@faceliftinteriors Thank you Sir.

[@charlescampbell1319]

Nice work ....the side panel+ piping combined into one is a great time saver......u ever try it??

[@faceliftinteriors]

Can't say I have, definitely intriguing! 🫡👍⛏️🧵🙏📎🪡

[@mahditorabi1742]

I have big problem to sew this plz make more like this thanks

[@borge2014]

That was fantastic! Neil can cut seam allowances by eye, without marking! Would love to see how the stocking was put over the Dacron to help the cushion fit into the cover. Great tip!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you so much for your support again! I have an old video showing how to put on a stocking net but it was filmed on my old camera so quality isn’t as good as it is now. Will plan to film a new one 😊

[@laurahoward106]

Amazing content thank you, where can I buy the same silver hand staple? I’ve been looking everywhere! lol. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw you using one. All the best, Laura

I hope you feel better soon my friend, you sound a bit under the weather... Anyway thanks for another helpful video.

Hi Stephanie - I was just getting over the man flu 🤣 thank you for your wishes, much better now! Thanks for watching again 😊🙏🏻

[@tiffanykayexpressions8696]

Excellent video! What is the material called that you use to slide the cushion in easier? I've been using plastic + and vacuum but would love something that isn't just one use and can stay in the cushion. I think you called it a sock - but if I'm trying to order some (from the states), what would I look for? Thanks so much - really love the speed of the video.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks Tiffany. Over here we call it 'Stocking Net' its like a sock for the cushion. Can anyone from the US chime in here and let us know what you guys call it??? 🧵✂️⛏️📐📎🙏

[@tiffanykayexpressions8696]

@@faceliftinteriors Thank you! I'd love the name the states use - all my searches come up with emergency medical supplies, lol.

[@DA-dy8uw]

Wow great work! I dried my sofa Cushion and it shrunk! Would you recommend cutting the sews and resewing it back together like the video or do you know any tricks how to fix the tightness?

[@vanessabussola4840]

I love your videos! thank you so much, you help me thrhough my first big project!!!! I do have a question about the extra inch you are adding at the front side of the cushion fabric. May I? Could you explain me the reason why of this extra inch? Maybe I just missed it!

[@vanessabussola4840]

Ooooooh I just found it!!! You alreday explained it during the sizing.... THANK YOU!

[@1994lovergurl]

I love this pattern!!!

[@faceliftinteriors]

It’s a beautiful fabric!

[@cindygoldstein6829]

Why is the zipper border more narrow than rest of border?

[@knittingbouvier]

Great tutorial, thank you. Where did you get the fabric weights? They would be so useful!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you so much! They’re called cloth weights and I got mine from morplan.com - but I think you can get them from a few places. Hope that helps and thank you for watching!

[@jonbeargenx]

Learning a lot here! I bought some books on automotive upholstery a while back, but having it in video format (although not quite the same) is a huge help. My first project is to make my office chair cushy! It's flat and my assets.. are hurting after a bit. I thought about using a car seat and weld a frame to it so it would fit my office chairs chassis, but they're all too heavy. I need some firm foam and a fabric that my little Singer can get through and also not wear out. Any suggestions?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Sorry for the delay in replying! I would recommend 2 inch blue upholstery foam for the seat (or an inch and a half If you don’t want it too bulky). It’s a firm foam but comfortable and durable 👍🏻

[@gussieb7216]

I know this is an old post, but I’d really like to follow your instructions. I have one question, please: why did you add an extra inch to the front when you made the pattern?

[@faceliftinteriors]

It would be 0.5" on the front and 0.5" on the back and the sides for your sewing allowance. 🙏📎🧵

[@gussieb7216]

Thank you for your reply! Please let me clarify: when you were drawing the pattern (before cutting), you added 1” to the front (before cutting with an additional 0.5” all around). I’m wondering why you added that 1”. Thank you, again!

[@salamandraeest6785]

So is your foam cut the same size as the template or do you allow any extra for it to squish down?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! I would cut the foam half inch bigger all the way around 😊👍🏻

[@sarahbavin6280]

really good tutorial thanks heaps :)

What does it matter, rounded or not! A zip can be put into any shape

[@faceliftinteriors]

It can yes.
