Mills Fabric
can i reupholster a couch in any fabric?
im thinking about taking a class to learn how to reupholster a couch and chair set we just bought. beautiful style, sturdy frame, just AWFUL looking old upholstery.
if anyone has done upholstery before, please let me know… do i have to have that special thick fabric, or can i choose any run of the mill fabric to use on my furniture?
i would do a slipcover, but they are wingback and have some nice wood work on them, so would it be possible for me to get some fabric and make a slipcover around the woodwork? like pinning and sewing over the existing fabrics? that might end up being easier…
you can use any fabric you want, but keep in mind that anything strtchy will be hard to work with and something thin or silky will wear out quickly if you’re going to actually be using the furniture.
Sturdy fabric doesn’t have to be ugly. Go to a fabric store and do some shopping, and ask someone there what they think, they can show you some things that woul dbe good for your purpose so you’re not just guessing.
