This Rocking chair was a real mess. it was repaired so many times that most of it was a repair lol
I tried sewing for the first time and first time re-upholstered a chair. Hope you enjoy this video.

I’m a sewing teacher and my dad is an upholsterer, you did an excellent job! You’d definitely get an A+ in my class! That tacking strip is hard to do. I’ve seen my dad do it and he has a few tricks to get it just right. And sometimes he has had to redo it so don’t be too hard on yourself. If my dad watched this I think he would be impressed of what you accomplished as well.😊

Oh Jay! I have been sewing since I was a little girl, and I am so impressed not only with how this turned out, but also with how boldly you tackled a completely new skill! The chair came out simply beautiful. I have two suggestions: if you place your pins perpendicular to your work, they are easy to handle than if they are parallel as you had them. Also, you might want to take a look at a fifth video to add to your new profession as an upholsterer - David has a good tutorial on how to make a simple stretcher to make the fabric tight using a piece of wood and nails. Well done, you.

Molly beat me to it, but I was going to make the same suggestions about the pins. And about how boldly you took on a fabric with a pile that needs to be the right direction, and on your first time sewing, too! Bravo! I love the color choice for your fabric with that wood. One of my treasures is my grandpa's upholstery hammer...I use it in jewelry making. He had an upholstery business with his brother, then he created a chain of fabric stores. All, after coming to this country with little English, or formal education, and only $15.00 in his pocket.

There is a story about a tortoise and a hare. Slow and steady wins the race. I am a professional sewist - 60 yrs. I still slowly sew many things b/c of the type of textile or the type of garment or b/c of the design of what I am sewing. The fact that you took ply/pile into consideration means you actually watched someone who knew what they were doing to learn from. Hats off for a good job and the added decorative stitch was a nice touch. Hats off for a good job and a lovely rocker restoration.

This will be one of my favorite projects so far. The more you get around the shop, the more I like the project, and you used a lot of equipment and material. The upholstery was fantastic, would have been difficult for someone with lots of experience. My mom was a seamstress and alterations specialist, she did a lot of costume repairing. It's a difficult profession, but based on how you finished this one, you're already way above the curve. I also like to see you revive furniture that will actually come into body contact, like stools, chairs, benches. Keep up the work, we are really enjoying these.

All the earlier repairs indicate that the chair was beloved, or at least useful in its previous life. You've given it a whole new purpose with your joinery, and the new upholstery looks amazing. And piping, too! You gave the sewing the same level of attention to detail as your carpentry. All the frame pieces, stretchers, etc. are remarkably delicate; no wonder it needed so many repairs!

I recommend for first time sewing to use a test piece of the fabric and practice the feel of sewing before stitching together the actual cut piece for the project. And use a sample of the fabric intended for the project. This way a person has a bit of a feel for sewing. Ah the learning curve, hats off and good job! I see you used a decorative stitch with the yellow thread- nice touch. Pretty green fabric btw.

For your first upholstery job, that turned out great!! My only suggestion (and I might have missed it) when sewing anything that will be getting a lot of pressure on the seams, use a zigzag stitch or double stitch it for strength. I'm actually a little surprised you didn't bust out brass upholstery tacks! I've watched several of your videos now (new subscriber!) so I guess that makes me an expert on furniture repair! I'm joking of course. However, I *do* make furniture from scratch- it's just 1/24 scale. Very tiny miniature size. I use fine pine sourced from the Popcicle Stick forests of the land of Coffee Stirrers and stains made by Sharpie and Prismacolor. I wish I knew how to film the process, maybe I should watch a few videos on becoming a youtuber lol

It's a beautiful color and finish. It gleams. The dark green velvet gleams as well. Great choice. Greens can be tricky because they either have a yellow undertone, or, a blue undertone. And the color intensity matters a lot too. You chose wisely. Looking forward to more upholstery pieces in the future.

Jay do you ever get into a project and think 'Oh god what I have I taken on?, if I didn't need a video this week I'd chuck it!' ? I think this chair is one of those!

The more you do upholstery you'll begin to know your strengths and weaknesses so you can either find a different/better/easier way to use aforementioned to your advantage. Then you can relax and not worry so much😊😊😊. The wood stain/finish and velvet color were perfect! Your repairs were honest and seemed to reinforce the chair parts efficiently😊😊😊.

That rocker is now "Fancy AF!" 😂 You did a fine job. It now has a new life, and I'm sure many more years of rock and roll ❤.

It was obvious that the previous owner thought it was a special piece of furniture and I like that and how you acknowledged this. Good work.

This rocker makes me miss the one my grandparents gave my dad about 66 years ago. It was stolen by a relative and never seen again. But it was wonderful.

Tips from an upholsterer: don`t reuse foam or springs, they degrade over time. The front corners of the fabric on the seat look better if you handstitch them. The fabric loosens a little with use, so it should be slightly tighter than what you`ll be comfortable with😊

For your first adventure in sewing you did a great job. I was impressed when you decided to tackle piping too! The end result was beautiful 😊
