I watched one video to figure out how to fix my 2 seater and now I'm hooked to your videos even though I have nothing else to fix LOL

[@faceliftinteriors]

Haha that’s what I like to hear 🤣 I hope you were able to find a video to help you with fixing your sofa 😊👍🏻 thanks for watching Brianna!

Hi Luigi! You are always too kind, thank you so much!! I didn’t realise you are a fellow upholsterer too! Glad you enjoy the videos 😊

[@YanJon]

Great! You are such an inspiration! Really enjoy your clear explanations. Could you make a video with tips for aspiring upholsterers? Where to get started, must have tools, what to look for in a sewing machine, etc. Thanks and keep it up!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Yannick! You’re very kind, thank you for your support! I uploaded a video a while ago about tools needed for upholstery... you can find that here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnjHn3t8iqelhJI I will add the rest to my list for future videos 😊👍🏻 thanks again!

[@richardike2342]

That was extremely cool. The chair looks awesome.

Thank you!! 😊🙏🏻

I’ve used spray silicone on the table to help my bigger leather pieces slide better. Mostly the leather restaurant booth covers that are so big.

[@alisonburgess345]

Great video - enjoyed that Neil. You've inspired me to get an upholsterer to quote me on a re-cover for an old Tessa leather armchair I've got - the leather has kind of perished and the padding has gone all flat... This looks fantastic.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hey!! That’s great news - I always say it’s better to restore good pieces of furniture rather than buy new as they don’t make them like they used to! Plus it’s better on the environment 😉 thanks so much for watching!!

[@von2balurn]

That looks stunning and incredibly satisfying to watch the process. Wondering why you didn't just replace the wood though. Would it have been less labour intensive to cut some new pieces and just drill new holes?

[@brightmindhubs]

Good work man

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks a lot Faraz mate 😊👍🏻

Fantastic chair, another great job! 👍 Any possibility you can do a tutorial on a Parker Knoll Statesman chair? Mine is dying for a makeover! 😅

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you Nancy!! Statesman chairs are beautiful chairs! Next time I get on in, I’ll make sure I do a tutorial for you 😊👍🏻

[@nancychau2524]

@@faceliftinteriors Thank you! Looking forward to seeing it! 😃

[@stewartlindsay2275]

Hi, great video and very informative. Just one question, with the top stitch, are you essentially going through 3 layers of leather to make it?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Stewart! Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful 😊👍🏻 yes the stop stitch does go through all of the layers.

[@stewartlindsay2275]

@@faceliftinteriorsThanks for the quick reply!

[@pv6450]

Such a nice job! So... what happens if leather does not breathe?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks so much! If it’s not able to breathe, the leather will be rock hard when you sit down on it and then the air will try to escape from any place it’s able to. That’s why I’ve put a lining fabric on the back of the sections you sit down on so the air can escape through that. 😊👍🏻

[@pv6450]

@@faceliftinteriors makes sense. Thanks for the additional info

[@kimbasandy1096]

Really, really nice work...have you ever used a hot gun to shrink the leather a little to remove the appearance of wrinkles. I saw that somewhere just want to know if that works for you

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you Kimba! I have done but you have to be really careful not to burn it as I’ve seen that happen and it’s not good!

[@a.p1971]

Amazing

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻

[@sofiaherself8946]

Hello, Did you order the foam already made in that form or did you order it to be custom made for this chair? I'd like to know from where to buy foam shapes.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Sofia! I ordered them custom made for this chair...I got these from GB Foam, hope this helps 😊👍🏻

[@grfnprjx]

is the front stitching just for show or does it serve a purpose beyond that? Thanks, I am a maker/woodworker and really wanna tackle reupholstering my sectional in leather or vegan leather.. probably a challenge for my first re-upholstering project .. your channel has been very helpful though. thanks again! //griffin

[@arielpearse3147]

Wow! This looks amazing! How did you get the foam was it made to measure?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you Ariel! I ordered the foam bespoke in that shape yes - definitely much easier 😊

[@aynakowalalang4467]

The Hotdog Chair

[@faceliftinteriors]

Yep 🤣

[@user-gk8wz6kh5l]

What is the name of the white fabric?

[@martinsommer361]

How much is the cost for a job like that?

[@tiffanygardner5020]

Where can you buy that shape foam? ☺️

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Tiffany! I ordered it ready cut in that shape - you tell them the measurements you need and they send it cut for you. I got these from GB Foam. 😊👍🏻

[@alfredshearing6793]

I love hot dog sausages, thx
