Over 30 years ago, Frank T.
Destro, Jr. was taught the fine art of custom upholstering from
several craftsmen, as well as through his many trials and errors.
With his knowledge and skills, you can restore your worn-out
furniture back to the beautiful elegance it once had.
You will learn all
the trade secrets, along with: basic tips, terminology, how
to use upholstering tools, supplies, how to measure, match, and cut
fabric, installation of webbing, and spring tying, as well as
cushion, welt cord, and zipper making. You will also learn how to
cut, sew, and upholster two styles of dining room seats, make a
zippered pillow, and a fully upholstered wing chair. Every step of
the way is clearly explained and photographed to make your
upholstering projects as simple as possible.
There are a vast number of
Tips! you should be aware of before starting your projects.
To take full advantage of these tips, I recommend reading this book
in its entirety, before starting your project.
In today’s society
everyone is looking for new ways to recycle. Reupholstering is an
excellent way to recycle and keep our precious earth a little
greener for years to come. |
