Learning to Reupholster

So, two 40 hour classes later, I have finally completed reupholstering this chair!  This includes hand tying the springs and learning to sew at the same time.  I am proud but embarrassed it took so long.
 BEFORE
&
AFTER 
The fabric is a cherry red Richloom outdoor fabric w/a linen-type look.  Hope you like it! I have a twin chair that will get reupholstered next year maybe!  Throw pillows to come.

  1. You are amazing, Leah! Your new chair is gorgeous. I can see that it would take many patient hours to create this useable work of art.
