LLHG 460 - Beginning Upholstery

Bring your favorite chair back to life. This class teaches how to replace padding and fabric with new colors, material, and patterns. Learn which fabrics are best and what makes a pattern right (or wrong) for your chair. Understand how to measure and cut fabric, how to correctly align the pattern, where to put buttons, and how braiding is used. Please bring (if you own them): electric staple gun, needle-nose pliers, flathead screw driver, and claw screw driver. You may bring your own small to medium sized project (no couches). All materials (foam, fabric, etc) may be puchased at a discount.
