HOW TO UPHOLSTER A CUSTOM BENCH SEAT CUSHION | UPHOLSTERY FOR BEGINNERS | FaceliftInteriors

In this video we show you how to upholster a custom bench seat cushion to fit any space in your home! We show you how to make a template of the space you want to make the bench seat cushion for and then what foam to use, how to make a template for the fabric and then how to sew the fabric...if that's what's required! Upholstery beginners can skip the sewing if your custom bench seat cushion doesn't have a large curve like this one.

Another excellent video! And it’s always fun hearing the different words we use for the same material - UK vs US : bottoming vs. cambric ; hessian vs. burlap (etc 😆)

Hi is there a particular make of spray glue you can recommend please? also, would you be able to do a video on how to make a bench seat using webbing under cushion instead of wood? apologies if you've already covered this in another video, I'm steadily working my way through them all!

Hi Neil , what’s the best indoor outdoor thread to use on cushions?

[@faceliftinteriors]

I normally use a 36 or 40 thread. Not sure whats stronger. Coats is one of the best brands for thread! 🪡🧵🙌

Legit question: what would happen if you didn't use the glue on all the layers of foam and stuff? I am about to redo our dining chairs. I reupholstered them about 7 years ago but only replaced the fabric. This time I am replacing all the foam and everything because they feel like I'm sitting on concrete now lol. I want to do a good job and understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. I'm also going to use leather as I have little kids and they have ruined the material on the chairs they are covered in stains and I want something I can wipe clean. Thanks any advice is greatly appreciated.

[@faceliftinteriors]

First I would go for a stain resistant fabric. Look at Sunbury fabrics are bomb proof. Definitely glue the foam as it can move if not fixed down properly. 📎🙌⛏️🧵🪡📐

Do I need a industrial machine to upholster my lounge? Where do I buy supplies??

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hard to say. I'd say if you are sewing cushions then yes you will need an industrial machine. I get all my supplier from my local upholstery suppliers. Though ebay and amazon would probably have some too. 🙏😊✂️⛏️🧵📐

Is it possible to lower the height of an armrest on an armchair?

Its always possible, just depends on if the amount of work is worth it. Send me some pictures and I'll have a look to advise. 👍⛏️🙏✂️🪡
