Quick & Easy Upholstery

by Alex Law, Posy Gentles

In a world where disposable furniture fabricated from stapled foam is becoming the norm, Quick & Easy Upholstery teaches the classic principles of traditional upholstery using natural and sustainable materials to create furniture that you won't find in the shops. With clear step-by-step instructions throughout, Quick & Easy Upholstery shows you how to rescue old and beautiful furniture with fabulous new fabrics and renovate treasured family heirlooms in perfect period style. By saving the money you would have spent getting someone else to do the work, you can afford to splash out on a really special length of cloth and create stunning pieces of furniture that reflect your individual style.

A great book, includes some complete projects from scratch. Only two US sources listed though, www.janechurchill.com (fabric only?) www.osborneandlittle.com (mostly fabric?), still need to find the other materials.

I have at least one of my crappy homebuilt chairs needs some new cushions,
