Then this is the book for you as it will take you by the hand and guide you through the techniques you need to give an unloved piece of furniture a new lease of life. Perfect for the absolute beginner and nervous starter are ten projects; a laundry bin, Danish-style dining chair, vintage sewing box, buttoned footstool, blanket box, Ercol sofa, round bedroom chair, patchwork nursery chair, mid-century sofa and fluted headboard. Each will introduce you to all you need to know about modern upholstery, from choosing the right vintage or new fabric, to achieving a professional result.
