As a subscriber to all manner of design, craft, and homemaking blogs, its pretty clear to me that in most of our homes theres an upholstery project waiting to happen. Whether youre taking that first daunting step, or wanting to move on to a more complex project, I hope this book will guide and inspire you.

Recycling, upcycling, and revamping are not new concepts. The general maintenance of household furniture sat alongside home cooking back in the day. While there has always been a hard core of makers and crafters out there, there is now a new breed, who previously wouldnt have considered taking on such projects, but have been inspired by blogs such as Design*Sponge and Apartment Therapy. The case studies in this book showcase a selection of projects from this new generation of upholsterers.

Regency-style chair upholstered by Hannah Stanton in Cranes fabric from Florence Broadhurst.

As a teenager, I began collecting furniture, scouring the local junk shops and auction roomsabandoning it all when I headed to London. I spent the early 1990s working in a scrap yardthe glamor!but it was the perfect home for my hoard. Without enough cash to open that reclamation yard, the desire for a proper job kicked in and I took a degree and became a graphic designer. Screen bound and frustrated, I had no time to control the mountain of furniture building up around me. All were in various stages of undresssome just in bits. Barely able to find my husband Matthias among the wreckage, I decided to do something about it. The practical, need to know gene kicked in and I joined an army of (mainly) women on a course in Traditional and Modern Upholstery, taught by the legendary Malcolm Hopkins.

Upholstery is a skill, and the more you learn, the more you realize there is to learn. The inner workings of a chair can seem daunting, but with a few basic skills coupled with a touch of common sense, you can transform that neglected wingback. Keep an eye on the style scene, experiment with materials, and develop your own techniques. There is however nothing better than learning hands-on from an experienced craftsman. If this book gives you the bugand I hope it doesfind yourself one of these guys. Learn the old time skills and rules, then enjoy every minute of breaking them
