How To Reupholster a $15.00 Garage Sale Wingback Chair

by on Apr 5, 2010

Everybody asks me if they can handle reupholstering the classic Wingback chair.  Unless you’re a skilled slipcover seamstress, you might get overly ambitious and find yourself elbow deep in cotton batting before you know it. Before you remove the first staple, created at: 04/05/2010

see how Creative Maven tears it down in Part 1 and puts it all back together in Part 2.

I can tell you that she saved her friend at least $375.00 in labor, and that’s a low reupholstery price here in the midwest.  You’ll need these three things to start:

  1. patience
  2. perseverence
  3. a good book on CD or a friend to talk to

Have at it and don’t forget to send me photos.
