DIY Upholstery

Do you have an upholstered chair that needs new life? Whether dog-damaged, cat-scratched, or just in need of a facelift, reupholster the piece yourself and be amazed at the transformation—and at how much fun the process can be. Taught by a master upholsterer, we’ll cover old-school and modern methods and materials for antique, 20th century, and contemporary furniture. Learn to disassemble your piece and pad and cut and apply fabric in a step-by-step approach. Small chairs, ottomans, or other small pieces only. 

Tuition includes all basic upholstery materials, with the exception of Fabric & Cushions. Don’t have your own fabric? Fabrics are sold here at the shop through our fabric expert Mikayla Dows.

Tools: Limited number of tools are available at the shop, but please bring your own if you have them. Bring to first class: magnetic: tack hammer, wooden mallet, scissors, tape measure, flat screwdriver, and pliers.

Please note: Smaller chairs or ottomans are recommended for this class, particularly for beginners; large armchairs often take at least two full sessions of this course (16 classes).

Furniture must be brought to and from class due to space limitations. Visit upholsteryonbroadway.com.
