03.09DIY Re-Upholstery, Threadbanger
Happy Mother’s Day! This week we are re-upholstering 6 antique dining room chairs, and learning how to re-cover a vintage ottoman. Upholstery is an art I have never tackled before, and this week we give new life to an old piece with organic fabric. We provide a quick tip that will keep your linens smelling fresh. There is also a special viewer submission in this episode of a cool way to recycle your family’s old vacation slides. Links in this episode: Bust Magazine – http://www.bust.com …

What a load of crap! Don’t they bother to match patterns in the States? It would have looked so much better if she’d just lined the stripes up between the front and the top … sorry, but it just screams ‘botch’ to me.

Yes! I really enjoyed this week’s viewer submission! Between the chairs, ottoman and piping, I am really into this episode on reupholstery. Thanks Threadbanger!

OMG- I’ve been dying to know how to do this- THANK YOU!!!
The piping looks so cool, how the heck did you make it look so easy. Good stuff.

The mixed collection of fabrics look better on your chairs than if you’d just gone with one choice. NICE! And piping is HARD- stellar work!

Those little slide candle holders are inspired!
Can’t wait to get home and raid the boxes of them, pretty nifty pressie for the mother’s birthday me thinks : ) x

Wow! I never knew it was so easy to reupholster furniture! I always assumed that was one of the more challenging things to do in sewing. Love ya Threadbangers!

YEEEEEES, coolest episode yet. Lovely upholstery and such a neat linen spray. I have heard about them, but never knew how.

Pawamonster, thank you so much! I appreciate your support and wish you all the best with the boy. Document your before boy and after if you can. We can work with industrial.

I didn’t want my lines to match. I’m not a real matchy-matchy person. YOU go right on ahead and match it all up perfectly and send in the video of your project. I’d love to see your perfect craftmanship!

Vodka is scentless and the alcohol in it kills germs and keeps the ingredients separated.
Try it, it smells lovely.

Yeah, it’s much easier to judge than to actually do what she does. The ottoman looks killer! And wow, she showed us piping and a whole other chair tutorial.
