I would have taken the dust cover off and said Oh Shit what have I started and then slowly stapled it back on 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@technopoptart]

you and me both. buy a throw and toss it on X''D

[@peggieloader2159]

yep.

[@mypaperlife403]

Ashton Suggs 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@beverlybrito7055]

Moooooodd🤣

[@charlotteprescott-ruland9121]

@Angry Hippo I would LOVE to do a slipcover...I tried for about a week, but I was defeated and realized my reupholstering skills were much better. I'm taking a slipcover class and that way I can have my chair with or without a slipcover (provided the lady I'm paying can even teach me...ugh!).

[@HZC]

i love how you can tell just how long this took because girl had different sets of mani's throughout the vid lmao. also wow. doing this w long nails is just impressive

[@cynthiamiller1399]

And now I know why it costs what it cost to get a piece reupholstered. Wow. What a lot of work.

[@dodadolls]

my thoughts exactly! I think I'd rather pay someone than go through this myself :D

[@emmaz3505]

@@dodadolls that's my thoughts but it's so pricey that I'd rather do it myself or I could just by new chairs :/ but I don't have, nor know, how to use a sewing machine if I needed too

[@courtnisw637]

How much does it cost?

[@terrangelica3505]

This is the most comprehensive step by step upholstery tutorial!!! Now I can confidently do the project I’m thinking of doing!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@inkstainedrose101]

Isn’t it satisfying when she hammered the metal down? Btw: LOVE UR VIDS!!! ❤️❤️

[@buildplay2302]

WOW! For people who have old houses in their extended families, with old faded, torn or stained furniture heirlooms -- this is very enlightening. Most people don't want to spend the money to redo their old chairs and are too intimidated by the DIY approach, but this is very inspiring. You have an incredible skill set. Can't wait to see the scaled down chair also. Awesome video!

[@jenc9532]

I didn’t think the pink fabric was too bad until I saw the original colour underneath the other pieces yikes that DID need replacing

[@gracecornelius7736]

4:30 did I hear you right? Did you say P*nis shaped fabric? Edit: PEANUT! YOU SAID PEANUT

[@yellowcatfat]

Haha I had to listen to that twice 😂

[@Tyilasoso]

CLOSE CAPTIONS SAY PEN IS

[@TomSawyersLeftNut]

I had to double take that part multiple times lol

[@ludettep]

I heard penis

[@StudioPhotoGraphics]

Grace C, hahaha ...ever heard of the Freudian saying "We hear what we wish to hear" :) anyway, tnx for making us smile, have a nice day

[@TMelkk]

Wow. Your voice is extremely soothing. I love that you didn’t add any upbeat music. Thank you so much for showing us the process, I had no idea it involved this much work!

[@gaylehirsch8608]

I have a wingback chair that desperately needs reupholstered. Having a love for crafting, your video is giving me confidence to go ahead and "do it". Thank you so much.

[@snjnbl]

You make everything look so easy. I love hearing your voice. My 3 year old granddaughter and I always watch your videos before bedtime. Thank you for your videos. Keep them coming.

[@Mekazas]

I had no idea there were that many components to chair upolstory. And even though this isn't tiny, sweet job!

[@user-nn5my1lc5q]

I normally don't have an interest in real life furniture restoration. However your video is so calming and done so well. Beautiful work.

[@cacia247]

I'm so glad ur back I missed watching ur videos before bed they would always make me super relaxed

[@Elvele]

What a great idea! Saving money AND getting chairs to match your house perfectly? This is why I love diy

[@lztacastro9032]

Wow... totally great. THANK YOU.😅 I am kind of a handy person ... All the work on this was so detailed and your calm voice while you go through all the steps. Awesome

[@jeannie525]

Beautifully well done! I inherited my mother's wing chair that she loved so much. Fortunately she and my dad also purchased the bolt of the fabric to reupholster in the future if needed. This video is so precise and to the point in everything I need to do. Thank you for this excellent tutorial on reupholstering a wing chair with piping and cushion.

[@CrankyPantss]

You did such a beautiful job with that chair, Cath. Thanks for sharing that lovely transformation with us.

[@leslieg5370]

I love how she’s really talking to us as if I’m about to restore some old chair 😂 I really love your views though. You’re so precise with everything and it soothes my little ocd. Also just hearing you makes me whole day better. Idk I really love your channel girl ☺️ plz don’t leave for so long again

[@skylerhall1537]

I'm legit contemplating starting a brand new KZbin channel that is the chaotic dumba** version of this where my boyfriend and I (and whatever poor souls we drag into our projects) try to learn new skills thru videos like this and document EVERY. SINGLE. MISTAKE. AND INJURY. Bc I have no doubts I will smash my thumbs to help trying to get those curve things perfectly flat and aligned

[@JanPospisilArt]

@@skylerhall1537 Hey, you should do that.

[@70athens]

my thoughts exactly, like baking a cake, ingidients, mix bake vid is awesome though

[@arnoldbryant9144]

omg i have watched so many videos on this and yours is the only one that made sense and was easy to follow

[@juice8304]

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Great Job

[@rosegarrett6982]

I've looked at a few how to videos and this is the one I've saved great tips and liked reusing flexible tacking strip and cording. Ready to tackle my two wingback chairs.

[@eelsteele7528]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been following it while working on my wingback chair. It’s taken several hours just to dismantle it, but I’m almost done taking all the old fabric off! Can’t wait to get to the fun part :)

[@outofthedarknessandintothe1538]

I am getting ready to take this project on x 2. Thanks for showing this in detail. This will save me tons of money.

[@norberteng9496]

Thank you so much. This is the best video I found so far. Now I am ready to reupholster the two old wing chairs.

[@teamvictoriana]

This video.... is fantastic. So well filmed (edited) and easy to watch but most importantly follow. Looking forward to my wing back chair re-upholstery project 😻😻😻 Thankyou!!!!

[@cottonwoodbazaar941]

Thank you so much for sharing! Love your video's! The Wing back chair looks awesome!

[@CamilaCentenoBonnet]

This is amazing! It made me want to get into upholstery!!! ❤

[@jacksvlogs9924]

This is the best video I've seen! I love that you reused the tacking strips!

[@rachele7398]

Almost reminds me of my breakdown of my reclining chair. Almost bc i was actively trying to dismantle not refurbish. Great vid

[@charlotteprescott-ruland9121]

Beautiful! Thank you for showing me an easier way to do those wonky arm fronts!!

[@snowstar7687]

I like that this isn't hard, but takes great care and patience. That's what makes it so worth it

[@christinesylvia7083]

This is the best video I have ever seen as far as instruction goes! Thank you so very much!

[@lengl1125]

I have never upholstered and don't have anything to upholster but after watching this, I really want to find something! Great job!

[@shakeanation1]

Omg!!! I WISH I would have seen this before I upholstered my couch... my arms are the same and couldn't figure how to put it back.. I added a different design to them lol.. it looks good but I'll redo it next year the right way.. ... Thank you for sharing...❤❤❤❤

[@angieqq]

I love you, woman. Seriously. I’ve missed your videos so much. This was so interesting.

[@Stephanie-wp3th]

Omg, girl I am so impressed! This looks awesome!

[@karenyoung9866]

Very Well done! It is so satisfying to remake a fine chair and make it beautiful again. They don't make them like that anymore.

[@kikijewell2967]

OMG, this is exactly what I was looking for! I found a great chair on the street and was unsure how the fabric was attached without visible staples. The metal strip is amazing! And the tack strip too.

[@karennelson5561]

I am so happy I found your video! I just recovered a chair exactly like this and your tutorial was so helpful!!! Thank you for sharing your expertise!!!

[@bilezmom11]

This video is brilliant! I have been searching for a how to video on reupholstery and this was clear and understandable. Thank you so much! I have a huge project to recover 4 chairs that are fully upholstered, rapped arms and legs included. Wish me luck. I will try to post photos when I’m done.

[@cuervojones4889]

That was very interesting! Quite a bit different from what I had imagined but still time consuming. Still - being able to put any fabric you like on your favorite chair is pretty sweet!

[@Magicglasses936]

So glad to see you back

[@katiehemstreet8939]

So, I've been following you for YEARS because of your amazing miniature tutorials. Today I searched chair upolstry and not only do you have the best tutorial, WE HAVE THE SAME CHAIR! 😳😄 Great tutorial!!!! Wish me luck!!! 😁

[@missshelley7986]

Your voice it's so calming and easy to listen to! I now know, I can't do this myself lol But I did get to the end of the video, just to listen; thank you!

[@marysantana8468]

Loved what you did and I will apply what you did to my very on chairs that were given to me. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@Missoptimystic]

This is the best tutorial I have ever seen for reupholstering a wingback chair. Thank you so much!

[@TheSquaretoSpare]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aaronhisminiatures6129]

This is very informative! Great video 😊

[@ksmill09]

Love the color of the grey.

[@moniciascott8128]

wow, what an upholstery lesson, and your nails A+ outstanding!!!

[@2008Victoriada]

You are fabulous! What a gift you have. You make it look so easy.

[@restezlameme]

Not long ago, I bought a cheap but glorious antique couch off of Craigslist. It has gorgeous Nouveau details, with original brass claw feet and everything. When I was stripping this thing down to the frame, I cannot tell you how much horsehair padding I had to deal with! And hand-cut upholstery tacks! It was INSANE. I totally envy your clean strip job on this chair!

[@phyllischaluisant4902]

This video was so helpful. I recently obtained 2 wing chairs from friends and I'm going to reupholster them for my living room. I hope to send you a photo maybe by the end of the year. :)

[@phillippia]

This was so relaxing and satisfying to watch. I am not even planning on reupholstering anything! Good job!

[@kimk3842]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@carolg.6838]

Fascinating. Really. Had no idea how they were put together, especially with piping separate. My mom was good at making slipcovers on an upholstered piece.

[@AprilShowers560]

Holy heck. I knew you were talented but this takes it to a whole new level.

[@ernestinewestbrook2448]

This was the best tutorial I've seen on reposting a chair

[@heyalicia2551]

Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial. I have a chair almost exactly like this one that I paid $50 for 15 or 20 years ago. The only difference is the arm fronts are rolled back vertically. The legs are identical. I finally am finding the courage to reupholstering it. this tutorial gave me exactly the information I needed and no lengthy, dragged out explanations. I'm working on the cushion now and will get to the rest next. Perfect pacing and instructions! Great job!!

[@beenwandering]

WOW absolutely love this, thanks for sharing

[@desireepacheco8490]

Your a life saver!!! Guess what project I’ll be doing tomorrow. Can you please make more tutorials like this?

[@luemoonba]

Thank you so much for this. I have two chairs that have been waiting for your help.

[@screamingmimi90]

It’s full size! I’ve been away from this channel too long.❤️

[@paulinehughes8548]

Fantastic video, I’ve got a rocking chair that was my late mum’s and this is definitely a project of love 😘

[@zamalubambo195]

You made it look easy and make sense! Thank you!

[@FragmentedZombie]

I always suspected you were a genius and this video confirms it!

[@thesandyspade6642]

That is the best video I have ever seen on reupholstering!

[@paulaunger3061]

Wonderful work! So fascinating to watch - I can really see where the technical excellence of your miniatures comes from 👍❤️

[@nekkidnora]

My mother, sister and I reupholster antique furniture we find in estate sales, it's so satisfying at the end of the day to sit in a chair you rebuilt yourself! I don't know if it's because we work with older chairs or just chance, but I've never seen those bracket strips you use to fold the fabric into? That's neat as hell!

[@dawnm5041]

Best video I've seen yet. I'm excited to try this myself.

[@JustinDOehlke]

Many, many thanks my lady. Very well put together presentation, and top-notch skill throughout. Bravo!

[@jenniedumas5805]

I recovered a couch several years ago and put extra wooden rings on the back held on by fabric tabs for the purpose of fort building for my kids. It was so fun. I don't have that couch any more, but wish all my furniture had rings to make cool blanket forts!! I love your videos, Cat! I have made a few miniatures and they are so fun. You do a great job explaining how to do it. Keep up the great work!!

[@TheSquaretoSpare]

Thank you so much for watching Jennie. I might have to use that fort idea ;)

[@DrJanTaplin]

You make this look sooo easy. I know that it is a lot of work. Bravo for you to not be one of the many who would just toss the chair to the curb to end up in a landfill.

[@edwinacoffman6429]

Missed you. Glad your back.

[@jeannie525]

This is a lot of work but I need to do it. I need to buy upholstery fabric to do my mother's wing back chair. I had to watch this video again to get my confidence back to do the chair. So many staples to remove!

[@carlyk210]

always excited for a new video!

[@mosiotv]

As always fabulous! 💖

[@pointingpigs]

Excellent job !! Congratulations

[@winterfoxey5074]

God damn you made that look easy! You actually made me feel like I can do this myself. I was really feeling unconfident and unsure of if I would be able to do it- thank you for this video.

Wow, amazing work! 👏👍

[@colombepetite]

[@everydayimwingingit3875]

Soothing? She sounds like she's talking dirty but only talking about a chair 🤣🙈

[@imaginemakecreate7651]

Impressive work! Thanks for sharing.👍🏼👍🏼❤️

[@georgewithmore8972]

Performing these procedures can be a bit complex, but seen through these types of videos it seems much simpler. I'd like to learn how to do it perfectly so I can reupholster my LC2 Chair from Manhattan Home Design when the time comes. Thank you very much for sharing this tutorial.
