Beginning with coverage of the basics--fabric types and characteristics, welting and trims, tools, cutting and sewing directions--this book offers solid information on using upholstery to transform the look of a room. From the simplest additions (pillows and loose coverings) to the more complex pieces (tailored slipcovers and reupholstery), the projects are well explained and appealing, and include interesting variations such as incorporating decorative buttons and ties or upholstering a table. In addition to detail photos of work in progress, several full-room photos offer ideas for coordinating the total look of a room. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Booklist
Instead of dashing out to buy new furniture, it is once again in vogue to change the look of sofas and chairs with slipcovers. This manual explains basic terminology, measuring techniques, and how certain fabrics are easier to handle when sewing cushions or stitching cover-ups. Beginners will certainly be challenged by a variety of difficult projects, but Parks also shows charming, simple ways to transform chairs, stools, and ottomans with appealing loose-fitting covers. Advanced methods, such as reupholstering a classic wing chair, are shown in photographs that clearly illustrate the necessary stages in the process, from stripping old covers to padding, cutting, fitting, and stapling on new material.
