    Never done upholstery ever in my life. But I try to tackle a personal project, and I must say that every time I have a question, your videos are my go-to. So informative, very helpful and the outcome is alway elegant. Thank you so very much for sharing. :)

    Newly retired and thought I would try my hand at re-upholstering our kitchen island chairs. Your videos have been great in helping me learn the techniques. 4 down and 2 to go. I particularly had issues with the oval chair back and working from the top and bottom to the sides but your method worked much better.

    Hi Amy
    I’m really enjoying your upholstery lessons. I’ve just started having a go at upholstery (after 30 years as a builder ) your you tube tutorials are very helpful and explained well. Thank you. Look forward to watching some new ones soon?

    Awesome job. Experience is definitely a plus in performing all those cuts for sure. I may be looking a trying some of this on a similar chair but with small wings. I will see if you have one showing how to deal with those. Thanks again Aimee. Great teaching.

    When I first looked at the Parsons chair video I was interested in how to cut the fabric for the front pleats. I missed your back leg cuts. Watched the whole thing and now done 6 chairs. Double piping starts today. Brilliant video and thanks so much for your help and knowledge transfer.

    @Mcdblue88 Před 2 lety +2

    I am an interior designer and I have no idea how upholstery is actually done at the “backend “ so it great to see this. Thank you for sharing your video and your KNOWLEDGE!!

    • @eotikurac
      @eotikurac Před rokem

      what do you think about this chair design? i really don't like it. it looks basic and it's not pretty and on top of that it seems to be more complex to work with than others. uses a lot of fabric for the back part and there's no real benefit because of it. when you handle the chair you will grab on the fabric and the fabric only helps with holding on to dirt. it's more difficult to clean than wood. seems like no upside to this design.

  • @funfactsexplorer403
    @funfactsexplorer403 Před 2 lety +1

    OMGGGG I nvr glued to a instructional video as I did yours!! You are going to save my life cuz my in-laws asked me to help to upholster their barstool that looked exactly like yours 😅 after seeing I did mine on a totally different barstool

  • @vivianeboveri2170
    @vivianeboveri2170 Před 6 lety +1

    Thank you very much, I enjoyed watching your videos (part I and part II). I was impressed how you make it look easy. I've watched a lot of videos on this subject, but yours, without a doubt, is the best. The end result is beautiful. My English is not good, but with the support of the images it was enough to understand (and I think I learn). Thank you!

  • @beckyrose4004
    @beckyrose4004 Před 5 lety +2

    Awesome and inspiring instruction. Thanks for the help. I am planning on doing my dining room chairs that have the same frame as this one. I love the look of the tufted back on the chair but I’m a little afraid it might be too complicated for a newbie like me. I would love if you did a tutorial on the tufted back chairs. Thanks

  • @dianeschmidt6331

    On your wingback chairs I asked about cutting around post but as I'm looking at this Parson chair I got my answer so you don't have to respond to the other one this was a good example of how to fit around the post I don't know if I'm secure enough to use a Sharpie I might use chalk because I don't want to mess up by material but this was a very good example how to cut around the post thank you

    Remarkable vedio. Very well done. I'm about to redo my parson chairs. The material is still good. But one coshin got snagged. I love the material. But I can't find the same style to replace just the damaged one. So I'm just going to recover all them. Beside the table I'm doing in black base with title top. And a decorative center tile. Which is gray,tan and gold. So I'm going the chairs in a gold striped print. I can't wait to get it all done. I show you the pics if you like

    You make it look so easy. I’ve just bought some material to do my chairs. I was going to buy new ones, but my cat 🐱 has destroyed the leather on the backs so no point in paying a fortune for chairs. I’ve bought my cloth for 55£. So not bad. Thank you. I’m going to follow your instructions. Xx

    Thankyou for sharing in detail.I am 35 and looking to start getting into woodwork going to try and self teach myself and upholstery is going to be needed.as i want to try and make puffes ottamans for the kids bedrooms.I would absalutely love to see an indepth video on how to do the pleated patterned vertions where you have to cut the holes out in the sponge and add the button.I really hope this make sence as i truly am just starting to get into all this from watching so many woodworking vids over the past couple of months.luckily my hubby did carpentry many years ago so can help along the way in my woodwork projects even though he will be having to refresh his memory along the way whilst helping me.
