    TH-cam has changed the way they monetize my content. My channel now needs 1,000 subscribers so it would be amazing if you could show your support by both watching my videos and subscribing to my channel! Monetizing my videos allows me to invest back into the channel with new equipment to improve the viewing quality so a small gesture from you goes a huge way for me :-) Many thanks for your support!

    Finally someone has put out a video explaining exactly how to plan for your reupholstery. Thank you so much.

    Also, how much extra would you add for piping? It's around all of the cushions and around the outside arm where it joins the inside arm. I assume i would be cutting it on the bias to go around the corners better...

    • @faceliftinteriors

      Yes always on the bias. Don't add any on to the cushions as it doesn't seem to make much difference in my opinion. 🙏🧵⛏️✂️📐

    Thanks this is really helpful. I'm looking at using a polyester velvet to recover a sofa. The velvet has a nap, so I'm thinking that will affect how i cut the fabric, as i can't cut pieces sideways to use up the excess on the side of the bigger pieces, as the nap will be going the wrong way. Do you have any advice on working with velvet?

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes always run the pile/nap down on every panel.
      You can run it if you like but then the shading can change depending on the angle you are looking from. Could do a whole video on this to be honest.

    Great tips - thank you. I worked out 15 metres for my 2 seater sofa, But I am going to try it your way now and see if it is the same. I love the drawing plan of cutting out the fabric.

    I’m doing my first club chair so would love to see you do a step by step for this chair 😊

      Hi Sharon! Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos, it means a lot! Absolutely - if I get one in to do, I will definitely make a tutorial for you 😊

    • @sharonwood8085
      @sharonwood8085 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much 😊 I’m really struggling with this chair because I’m not sure what sort of base it had originally 🤔
      It’s been stuffed with cushion inserts by its previous owner but I think it should have some sort of box frame base 🤷‍♀️ no idea how to start a base like that so I’ve been trawling TH-cam and google lol 😂
      Soooo if you fancy making a tutorial for that it would be fab 😆 😁
      I love the way that you present your videos, they are the first ones that I’ve watched and can actually understand 😁
