Far too much furniture is thrown away and with it the perfectly good materials and resources that we should reuse. It’s not the chairs that are lacking: it’s our imaginations. Using basic upholstery skills, learn how to transform a frame into something unique (or have a go at building your own!). Lorraine shares the excitement of designing and printing your own fabric to fit the shape and style of a remodeled chair. Discover how easy it is, using simple computing knowledge, to create highly individual fabric that expresses who you are. She includes a wealth of tips to help with every aspect of your projects, gathered from a lifetime in the trade that she loves. All that you need are a few basic upholstery skills, an ability to work three-dimensionally, and an eye for shape and design—plus your own personal style and a bit of flair. Insider features include ways to calculate quantities of fabric accurately and 12 of Lorraine's top tips for making your furniture projects amazing. Upholstery has become her art; it could become yours too!
