In this video we will be reupholstering this armchair with brand new decorative fabric from Sailrite to bring it back to life and give it an updated fabulous new look. The process may seem daunting, but it really is not too difficult, especially after watching this video. Every step will be clearly shown, so if you can do a little sewing and use a staple gun. Chances are you can also reupholster a chair. This tutorial video will show reupholstering the frame with new fabric. A second video will show pattering and sewing the chair’s top and back cushions.

I love watching Cindy. She’s so calm and confident in what she is doing.

@denisefitzgerald8783 2 года назад

This tutorial is fantastic. So clear and easy to follow. It’s also extremely relaxing, like unintentional ASMR.

@lc7014 5 месяцев назад

Just finished my chair! Watched these videos over and over to get the techniques down! Love Sailrite!

@SailriteDIY 5 месяцев назад

That's awesome! Congratulations on finishing your chair! It's always satisfying to see the end result after putting in all that effort.

Fabulous video tutorial. Thank you, Cindy. Your work is truly admirable. Beautiful job!

@raspberrycrusader 8 лет назад

How stupendous?! This must be the most comprehensive video available on how to strip and reupholster an armchair. Thanks to this, and your other superlative "how-to" videos, I now have the confidence to tackle my many reupholstery projects. I have added this to a playlist and this is the second time that I have watched it from start to finish. Btw, I am all the way across the pond in England, studying fine woodworking part time and teaching myself upholstery techniques so that I can start my own business designing and making bespoke furniture, and these films are playing a very big role in my education. Thank you Sailrite!

@SailriteDIY 8 лет назад

+raspberrycrusader That is great! I hope your new business goes very well in England!

Thank you so much for this. I was going through the web looking for new projects to do (I currently service friends cars and do minor repairs, upcycle tip bikes for kids who don't have one, repair mowers and whipper snippers etc) and I stumbled across fabric for a bike seat repair and some how managed to get to your youtube channel and it is just so so good. Filmed really well, explains everything and the lady is just lovely :) Now I want to go back to the tip and pick up an arm chair to give this a go!

@shaundawilliams4144 2 года назад

@SailriteDIY 7 лет назад

@patriciaprinsen4943 Год назад

Fantastic! Cyndi is working MAGIC! Making it look SO easy, but it’s far from just do it yourself. Well done!!

@lindyashford7744 4 года назад

I have a very similar chair, very solid and with loose covers that are way past their best in fact awful, I shan’t need to do all this but it was useful to know just in case I do need to recover the whole thing, but shall be watching eagerly for the seat cushion and back cover video, and I think I now understand the principle of how the shapes go together to unpick the original and sew a new one. Now for a lovely fabric. Thank you so much.

@AW-jw2jd Год назад

After watching this video I have a whole lot more confidence to do my project. Thank you so much for the in-depth tutorial!

@barbll000 7 лет назад

I really enjoyed this video - very professionally done with great instructions. I do have a sewing background so everything made sense. I have a loveseat I'm considering reupholstering. No corners were cut in this process and I loved the minute detail of each part of the process. I'm sure the client was estatic with his or her new chair. Thanks for taking all the time and effort to make this excellent video. I feel I know fully what to do and even where to get supplies - from you!

@SailriteDIY 7 лет назад

That is great news! I am so glad we could help with your upholstery application.

@mlreynolds49 8 лет назад

Your video rocks. I'm near tears just on how thankful I am to have found you. Your instruction is the closest to actually hands on that I have seen. Blessings to you all for what you have given. My intimidation is gone....thank you time 10....so worth the time....

@beardzebub6341 7 лет назад

This is another fine video by Sailrite. Nobody does DIY sewing vids better than these guys. My wife and I learned how to upholster throw pillows with piping from an earlier video. We just might give this a try. Unfortunately, my wife won't let me buy a Sailrite sewing machine yet! Keep the great videos coming!

@anabellac9329 8 лет назад

Thank you for being so detailed. I am learning to sew and I want to reupholster an old chair. Other videos I've watched don't give as much as this one does (pertaining to details). I have a brand new sewing machine given to me (my mother got a new one and gave me her barely used old one). I can't seem to fix the tension so once that is fixed I am going to reference this video. Thanks, again!

@daynawithawhy 2 года назад

@trudyvangiessen1569 9 лет назад

great video! I have searched all the internet for a good video that shows doing the deck. I have done several chairs but always wanted a tutorial on the deck. I seem to have a difficult time with that area. I will rewatch this on next when I do my next chair. I do think you need a regulator. This little tool makes tucking so much more easy and fun!

@SailriteDIY 9 лет назад

trudy vangiessen Glad we could help. A regulator may be helpful, yes. I will be sure to show that on on of our next upholstery video projects.
