- As a part of my guest living room restoration in my 100 year old school house in Sweden I reupholster three chairs this week.
Using traditional reupholstery technique I learned in a three day long course a few years ago I put my old learnings to the test. This is only the beginning of my reupholstery journey. There will be many to come the next couple of years. Three sofas and one of them will be done in the beginning of next year!
Amazing!
So good to be able to do that! You can redo so many things!😮❤
I want an upholstery hammer! Great job, as usual.
The chairs look great 👍
Thank you :-)
Great job! Beautiful fabrics.
Thank you
You did this again beautiful !
Very skilfully done moa they will suit your decor beautifully. What an achievement to be so accomplished 😊
Thank you :-)
Those will be very comfortable chairs. I love the high back chairs.
They are really beautiful, I saw them in a new light when the fabric was changed
Wow! Great job!❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful!
Thank you :-)
Great job!
Thanks! 🫶
Absolutely stunning! I so want to come help sometime! I do windows! I would bring almost 50 years of experience. Seriously.
That would be great! I have a profile on workaway, but I think next year I won't have any volunteers until the summer until I have sorted out a temporary bathroom in the basement as my main (and only) bathroom belongs to the guest apartment now :-/
Beautiful work!
Merry Christmas - thanks for taking us along on your journey,
Very handsome work!
Well done! My hands were aching just watching you work with the fabric. Beautiful work!
Imagine how strong hands the people working with upholstery must have. phuu
I've said it before but you are a woman of many talents, you've refurbished the chairs brilliantly, they look like they've come back from the upholsterer. Moa Have a healthy, happy and Merry Christmas, to you your loved ones and your wonderful cats.🎄🎁Wesołych Świąt
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too :-) Oh, next vlog will be a christmas special, hope you will like it :-)
I’m not positive Moa but I think that cotton is called muslin here in U.S. I’ve reupholstered my dining and kitchen chairs many times too. Big change for little time and $$. You always do such careful work! ❤
Perhaps, I got Calico from an english upholstery book, not even sure how to pronounce it :-/ I actually reupholstered a stool when I was a child, must have been somewhere between 8-12 years old and I decided to repaint and reupholster the seat of a simple stool. And think, youtube didn't exist then! With green leather! I think we used it for 10 years before we threw it away haha
@@old_school_moaboaI think it is calico, at least here in Australia, and you did pronounce it correctly. I love the upholstery you chose. The chairs look fantastic.
@liddyphillips8423 relieved to hear it was correct 😁 thank you 🥰
My mom and I reupholstered many chairs and sofas over the years. I invested in an air nailer, which was a game-changer. You did a beautiful job though! ❤😊
I have one too, but I love the upholstery hammer. Also the staples gets rusty too soon. It's more work but I love the traditional ways when it comes to crafts :-)
Very well done! Greetings from Italy. Happy Holidays⭐
Thank you :-) Happy Holidays to you too!
Well done, Moa 🌲
Very attractive chairs 🇳🇿
Thank you 😁 they come from my sister-in-law's family and I have a set of 6 actually
Merry Christmas! You did a great job and were very ambitious to take on a stripe. I recently recovered my dining room chairs but I did a floral and used a stapler rather than the tacks because I don't think my 72 year old hands would do as nice a job as you did with that tack hammer. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
great job. they look very professional.
Thank you, I did my best 😁
Absolutely beautiful! Well done! I loved watching how it's done.
I am glad you liked it :-)
I like to reupholstery dining chairs. It can make such a big change to a room. I cheat & use an electric staple gun.🙂
It's an easy fix and so easily done with a staple gung :-)
Keurig! ❤
I love this fabric that's why I used it in my house 😉
I was thinking you didn't choose the easy way with this striped fabric; I was wondering how to keep the stripes straight... and you did it wery well actually! The result is cool!
Thank you, and great minds think alike ;-) It's not perfect but no one will notice, the stripes on top are very straight :-)

A very informative tutorial, you are a good instructor. The chairs look lovely. Merry Christmas and peace in the New Year.
Thank you so much 🥰 Merry Christmas 🎄
Beautiful work
Thank you 😁
Önskar dig en riktigt GOD JUL 🤶🌲❤❤❤
Happy Christmas and thank you 🌲❤
Oh, and I love the fabric. Gorgeous !
Happy Christmas :-)
I have a roll of blue fabric as well :-)

That is a job and a half. Looks good. Is it not easier if you let the ends, the material be a little longer to fold.
Thanks :-) I was being cheap with the material yes ;-)
@@old_school_moaboa understandable. Great job.
Good job, but...... absolute pet hate of mine is not seeing the fabric finished properly underneath chairs, any chairs! I know it costs a little extra for the material, and also a bit more time with doing it, but the fabric that people plant their bums on won't last very long with that technique. Might I suggest: when you cut the cover fabric, that you add (at least) 5cm extra for the underneath, and please if you have a sewing machine, then do a small fold on the edge before attaching to the seat. The extra fabric gives you the benefit of being able to do repairs (as each butt that sits on those covers will stretch the fabric, which strains it underneath).
I am sure that's a good technique too but this is how I learned to do it from a professional upholsterer and the threadthin fabric underneath that was 100 years old had even less trim and had held up without any tears. I think this looks neater, you don't see any of the fabric underneath the chair
It seems like something to cover the wood and nails on the underside of the chair would be nice.
Maybe. But the frame of the chair conceals the end of the fabric and all the nails, all you see is the middle of the seat and that is wood. So I didn't think about it. But there is always room for improvement!
