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 !

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!

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.

[@starnet36]

Great video. From start to finish, I would have liked to have seen how you copied the fabric pattern for the couch arms and then sewed the new fabric together. They were finished very nicely but I would have liked to have seen exactly how you did that. Do you have another video from your library that shows how you make and sew couch arms?

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.

[@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!
