Heidi, I’ve been an upholster for years, and you have done a great job. Keep it up.
So great to hear a professional approves of this tutorial!
I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate you making this video! I have 2 wing back chairs that I got for free from my parents neighbor and I painted one and it turned out ok, but wasn’t what I really wanted in my home so I ripped all the fabric off. They have both been sitting in my garage collecting sawdust because I wasn’t brave enough to attempt reupholstering them because even though I own a sewing machine I am completely lost in the sewing world. I feel confident I can do this! Seriously thank you!!! You did a fantastic job explaining and your chair looks fabulous!!!
Hi Heidi,
I want to redo a chair, my, and I will look for tips to look for your ideas. Thank you for your video. 🎉😊
Wow Great Job Heidi. I took an upholstery class years ago. I have a few pieces that need to be redone. Im inspired now. One thing we did in upholstery class was to steem the chair to tighten all the fabric to give it that extra professional look. Great job
Steam it afterwards or before?
Heidi, Heidi, Heidi!!!! You put the work into this DIY! You have WAY more patience than I do. My husband was an upholsterer in his younger days and he said he would NEVER go back to doing it. LOL Gorgeous!!!! Awesome job for your first time.
Wow Heidi!!!!! This looks amazing!!!! You could not tell this was your first time doing upholstery!!!! I love the color you picked and the pillow coordinated perfectly. Thank you for joining me this month! It was so much fun!!!!
Best tutorial I’ve seen. I feel confident enough to do it myself.
Thank you for explaining each step so clearly! This makes me less nervous to attempt it myself.
Your chair turned out FABULOUS and to find out this was your first chair that you reupholstered?!? All I can say is, “YOU GO GURL!” You did SUCH a wonderful job👏🏼 Thank you so much for sharing this video with all of us! I SURE DO APPRECIATE IT🤗
What a great video... I love how detailed you were and I nearly fell off my chair when you said you'd never reupholstered before!!!!! Bravo Heidi... the finished look is amazing!
It came out beautifully. I’ve been wanting to reupholster a wingback for ages, and this’ll be both a great inspirational vid, as well as a reference tutorial.
I have looked up many re upholstery videos but this one is the best, most informative and easy one I've seen so far thanks
Wow, you are my hero! This was such an amazing and professional project! I love that you included all of the special cardboard and fold over tack tools that you used that really made the fabric look fantastic!
And proud you can be, Heidi!!! Wow, what great work you did!!! I've upholstered a chair once, too. But it was a bamboo one with two giant cushions so it was a lot less work that you had to put into this chair. My hands were bleeding as I had to use an upholstery needle to add a lot of those buttons tobring the cusshions to form. Sadly I did this way before my blogging time and I have almost no photos to create a tutorial.
WOW HEIDI WOW! What a challenge! It came out great!
Thank you so much Heidi for sharing this tutorial on how to recover that chair. I have one that I've been wanting to recover but I haven't been brave enough to do it. I appreciate this video so much, you can't even believe how much, fantastic job . Christina
I would never attempt this. You are certainly brave. I would just buy a slip cover. Great job!!
Wow Heidi! This is amazing! You did such a a good job I dont think I would have the patience for all that lol It’s beautiful your hard work really paid off! I love the blu fabric you choose too it goes really well your pillows! ❤️❤️❤️
It came out so beautifully!!!! Great job!!!!
You did a fantastic, amazing, super, beautiful, wonderful job.👍👍👍. Thank you 😊 for sharing.
Wow! You have patience. Nicely done!
It looks great Heidi! Super job!
Amazing!! Looks so gorgeous !!! And you have the most beautiful voice !!
I am so proud of you too!!! You did a great job. This has been on my list of things to do too. I have made slip covers for wingback chairs but it’s not the same. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a beautiful job you did, you should be very proud.
😅oMG thank you soooooo🎉 much for the tip on piping. I started my project and having been stressing sewing piping. This idea is going to work GREAT!❤
Awesome! Looks so beautiful! Terrific job! Love, Mom
Hi Heidi
You are very brave!
You explained it really well.
This turned out amazing!
Love it.
You must be very proud!
Thank you very much for this cool challenge collab.
xoxo
Absolutely love it, just the kind of video I have been looking for, will be giving it a go on my dirty laura ashley chair I got for £60, thankyou brilliant job
Great job Heidi and you save yourself a ton of money
Wow!! That looks amazing! I know who to call when I need to upholster something ;)!
Thank you for sharing this video. I have 2 wingback chairs exactly like this chair that I am planning on reupholstering. This video has answered a lot of my questions.
You are right to be proud of yourself!! It looks amazing!!! 💖💖💖
This turned out fabulous! I’ve wanted to try upholstery too, but I may not be ready yet. This being your first upholstered piece is impressive!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
There is no way I would have tried this. This was way too much. A chair pad, maybe but not a whole chair. You did a beautiful job.
You should be proud of yourself! What an amazing project 👌🏻
Wow! I’m so impressed!
oh! That's really nice! I searched for a video because I have a chair I need to recover and this was great! Thanks. :)
Amazing. I’ve done baby upholstering jobs and it’s so hard to get a smooth professional look but you nailed it! Or should I say glue gunned it!! 👍
Thanks for such a great in-depth tutorial. I think it would be an amazing project to take on, thanks to you!
Good job done. Eventually I have a wing back chair I got at the Salvation for less than $24.00 with the senior discount, which I'm going to try & recover. It was in really good shape a few years ago, no wear at all except the legs were scuffed as if someone kept hitting them with the vacuum cleaner.
Wow!! Wonderful job on this!
Great work. You did good explaining it in detail.
You did such a great job. It looks amazing and comfy. Tfs
You did a great job, it's much harder than I thought ♥
Wow, fantastic job!
Awesome!!! Thank you for this great tutorial!
You did sure a great job, what type of material did you use? I have two chairs made exactly like that. I want to reupholster it either gray or cream. This job look very tedious but I am willing to try as a first timer. Your help is greatly appreciated
YOU DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB
Heidi, I like how the chair came out.
Wow! Great job!👍💕
thank you , very instructive and helpful ! Beautiful job !
BEAUTIFUL!💺
Amazing job!!!!
Great job!! You gave me hope that I can do this too!
You absolutely can! It's so much fun to bring life back to an old chair.
WOW!!!! I couldn't do that... Amazing...
Thank you for showing this!
Beautyful Work 🌹
Cool share my friend 👌
Good job
Great job!!! A+
I need this! Yay!!
I saved this video!
Awesome! I love it!
So helpful, thank you!
Genuinley curious, wouldnt it be easier to save the old fabric and trace the old pattern onto the new material? Your chair looks great by the way, did an awesome job
This was an excellent video! thank you
Great job!!
Your awesome!!!
Marvellous🇬🇧
Wow! I haven't seen the metal brackets when i have been watching a couple of upholstery videos before! love the final result! WOW!!! Amazing job: better than if you'd pay to a professional to do it for you! Thumbs up! By the way, can you imagine, I've FINALLY recorded my Purse/bag area of my closet's organization but am not sure if you're gonna do another FALL Closet cleanout/organization Challenge or no??? I am gonna be ready to participate ON TIME for this FALL LOL!!! Thanks for all your DIYs: I love your vids with lots of tips and tricks;)
Beautiful! Awesome job.New to your channel.Enjoyed this video.
Good work! How long did the project take?
Amazing!!
Amazing
Good effort 👍

Hey Heidi :) Which batting is that? I’ve been looking at thick cotton batting but it’s a little pricey. Is the one you’re using the upholstery batting roll from Michael’s? On their website, it says it’s approx. 12 yards. Thanks!!
Beautiful! Where did you get the fabric from?
The link for the welt cellulose piping doesn't link anymore. Could you tell me which diameter and length I would need?
What was that metal tubing you used?? I can not seem to find it
Why burlap?
Can someone explain to me why you have to take the old fabric off? Cant you just place the new fabric on top of the old fabric and just make sure its thick enough to cover the old color?
How much did you spend?
It all depends on how much your fabric is, but I've linked all the tool supplies I used in my description box. It is a lot of work to reupholster a chair, but it's cheaper than buying a new one. Hope this helps
I a going to try a rocking chair
This looks so hard
👍👍👍👍👍🎃🍂🍁
I don't think so,! 😂💕
All to Jesus.
Why couldn't you just put new fabric over old fabric? Of course if everything was in good condition.
I cut myself badly removing those metal clips 😭
12 yards for two chairs. Uhh. My fabric is $40 per yard . Yikes. .
You are right fabric can cost so much now! I found my fabric super cheap and made sure to get a good deal. make sure to check the clearance section of your fabric stores. You might find something good there.
Pick a different chair wingback chairs are outdated
I'm sorry to be the nay-sayer, but it doesn't look good at all. There are bumps and wrinkles and the seams are not tight at all.
It was her 1st time.
Not been rude but ime not sure if i believe its your first attempt. You just seem to know exactly what to do and the items you need and how to use them, whatever its still a fantastic job
haha... I will take that compliment. It was my first time, but I did a lot of research before I started and that helped me know what to do. I will definitely recommend using an air compressor staple gun after doing it. My hand was DYING at the end with using the normal staple gun.
@HeidiSonboulDIY I can imagine lol, I have got an electric staple gun so might help a bit, I have a very dirty laura Ashley chair which I purchased cheap and intended to recover. Got the fabric, ordered the items so going to give it a go
@ best of luck. Put on some good music and take your time not feeling rushed.
@@HeidiSonboulDIY thankyou yes I've got my Alexa lol
Amazing
