Exactly what I needed to see. Very thorough and I did not have to listen to unnecessary music. Thank you

@MimzyandCompany 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Karen. Glad you think music is unnecessary cuz I go back and forth on weather or not to use it.

Years ago, I took an upholstery class and picked a wingback chair for my project. Midway through the class, I had surgery and wasn't allowed to lift more than 10 lbs-yatta yatta yatta. In short, I never finished the class and have struggled with this part of the process since then and haven't tried again, I have even given away two beautiful wingback chairs that I found on the cheap. Silly how we let the small things stop us from doing what we love.

My first upholstery project when I took my first upholstery class was a wing chair! with tufting! such a difficult place to start...but i guess it does cover all the basics i guess.😃

@kornerstonekreations 3 месяца назад

@@MimzyandCompany When I moved to Florida, I left a Vintage Gold Velvet Tufted Sofa (my next project, I thought) sitting in my living room. I hate to say this, but my upholstery class was full of ex-cons, and I was a little out of my comfort zone. I'm guessing it was a common profession to transition into, primarily for cars and boats.

My first ever upholstery project(other than dining chair seats) was a wing back chair. I used a beautiful velvet and it came out nice. But the chair was old and fell apart structurally, only lasted about 5 years. Good luck with your project.

Amazing. Thank you for the detailed instructions. I have a sectional that's in good shape (nobody sits on it but me) but is starting to pill. It cost so much to have it reupholstered or to buy a new one, so I'm thinking of doing it myself. Seems tedious but doable.

@MimzyandCompany Год назад

yes, you're absolutely right...it's tedious but doable. a sectional is an ambitious place to start, I have to say. Just be patient and know it's gonna take a while.

@@eslynwaterman-jones7982 I actually didn't make video of the whole sofa. So sorry! I'm about to start a workshop series about upholstery. I'm starting really simple with pillows to get my feet wet on doing zoom. But if you get on my email list I'll send you an email when my upholstery workshops are live.

@ohlelalu 11 месяцев назад

thanks for these videos; you're cool. i bought a crazy-shaped chaise that i've been too scared to begin trying to reupholster for a year because it has a spiraling arm and a funky curved backrest. i feel like after a few more of your videos i'll actually kind of know what to do or at least how to improvise, which i haven't felt during other, hyper-edited tutorials i've watched.

I really wish you could do my couch and love seat leather arms. I just cannot find a comparable couch anywhere. I love this couch. But the arms leather arms are toast but all else is fine for me. I would pay a lot to have someone knowledgeable like you to fix it! At least I know it can be done.

@MimzyandCompany 6 месяцев назад

There’s definitely an upholstery shop in your area that can do them. Maybe you could have them make you some arm covers.

How would you cover a couch that the pillows are attached, I was trying to do a fitted slip cover....

@MimzyandCompany Год назад

I usually cut the cushions off and make a boxed cushion.

@kayBTR Год назад

Do you wash the new fabric that you upholster with! Thank you!

@MimzyandCompany Год назад

No! Only pre wash for a slipcover.

@suecook8379 3 месяца назад

Nice vid. Do you go over how to buy / measure how much fabric to buy?

@MimzyandCompany 3 месяца назад

I do…this video applies to slipcovers but upholstery is very similar but actually takes a little less fabric. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wc7XgQZ884g.htmlsi=N17Dzq49vyWEOT7N

@Kre8iviT27 Год назад

How would you make a slipcover or reupholster for an Ashley Darcy sofa. It looks like it has four pillows in back section and has curved sides like the sofa in your video.

@MimzyandCompany Год назад

I probably wouldn’t slipcover that style sofa because of the attached cushions on the inside arms. And probably wouldn’t reupholster it either because of that. A pro could do it for sure, but personally I wouldn’t take the time.

@Kre8iviT27 Год назад

@@MimzyandCompany yeah I was thinking that. I just want it in a different color fabric and was getting discouraged that it may cost more or just as much to change than what I paid for the sofa. ;-( What are your thoughts on fabric paints?

@MimzyandCompany Год назад

@@Kre8iviT27 I’ve painted fabric on dining chair seats twice. The first time I used house paint and it lasted really well and then another time I used fabric paint and it chipped, cracked and came off pretty quickly . I wouldn’t recommend paint on a sofa because it’s stiff.

@Kre8iviT27 Год назад

@@MimzyandCompany I was thinking that. Also if something was spilled it is on the sofa it would be hard to clean up without to ruining the paint on it.

@shonalewis1787 Год назад

How do I know how much fabric to buy for my project? I've just discovered you, so perhaps you've already made a tutorial for that?

@MimzyandCompany Год назад

I think I made a video on that. But if you Google upholstery yardage calculator , there’s a picture chart with just about every style of furniture with the yardage requirement.

@builderlady1857 Месяц назад

You should have done top under arm 1st then base so you can pull it to right tightness with the fabric, then go to the front side and back so you know then where the cuts should be . As the way you are doing it lets the fabric be loose wrong way of doing I have been doing upholstery from 1999 and run 5 classes I am woman made a very good business from it
