Matthew Haly's Book of Upholstery by Matthew Haly,Kathleen Hackett Pdf

At Matthew Haly s custom-upholstery studio in Manhattan s NoHo district, the demand for his work is incredibly high - and often, so is the price tag. That inexpensive flea-market find seemed great until you discovered just how much it would cost to have it reupholstered. But don t let the professional s price tag deter you. In Matthew Haly s Book of Upholstery, Haly - the go-to upholsterer to Manhattan s interior design crowd - shares his craft: all the details, secrets and tips to help you restore the original beauty to a haggard piece of furniture with your own hands - and put the savings into fabric that will make you swoon! He draws from more than two decades of experience to provide you with the expertise you need to give that sofa, chair, stool, window, or tabletop a makeover like a professional. Upholstery can be challenging, so Haly has provided straightforward projects to help you build the skills every upholsterer needs - from determining how much fabric you ll need for the job to adding just the right trims and finishes. Begin by sewing a simple pillow, a table runner and a lampshade. Once you ve mastered these basic projects, hone your measuring skills by making a lined round tablecloth, then embark on your first piece of furniture, a stool with decorative nails. Each project is designed with the home upholsterer in mind, but Haly never oversimplifies, cheats on techniques, or cuts corners for the sake of making it appear easy. And only Haly gives you tips on how to pick out the pieces of furniture with good bones that are really worth the effort. With projects ranging from a handsome bolster, casual floor cushion and floor-length curtains to a multi-purpose folding screen, refined headboard, and fully slipcovered dining chair, both novice and seasoned sewers will find inspiration. User-friendly yet packed with information from an industry insider, Matthew Haly s Book of Upholstery is a thorough primer on upholstery, sharing all the know-how you need to do the job yourself.

Automotive Upholstery & Interior Restoration by Fred Mattson Pdf

After disassembling and gutting your car, it is easy to feel that you're in way over your head when it comes to the upholstery. This is why so many do-it-yourself restorers outsource the work, at considerable expense, to an experienced upholstery shop. Taking the time to acquire the skills for upholstery restoration may feel like a daunting task, but what if an experienced upholsterer presented every skill you needed to restore upholstery yourself? Starting with a list of necessary tools, author Fred Mattson guides you through all the required tasks, including seat restoration; door panel removal, patterning, assembly, and installation; headliner removal and installation; carpet cutting; and even convertible top restoration. The easy-to-follow step-by-step presentation allows for a thorough understanding of all the processes. Every photo in this book provides a hands-on approach that shows you how to repair and restore a car’s interior to concours, show-quality specifications. Other restoration books may show you beautifully restored interiors, but they don't show you how to produce them. This book helps you develop the skills needed with instruction from a professional upholsterer, saving you thousands of dollars over outsourcing the restoration. If you are interested in saving money, doing a complete restoration yourself, or simply want to know how it's done, this book is a handy addition to your automotive library.

Modern DIY Upholstery by Vicky Grubb Pdf

Ten simple projects using quick and easy modern methods. QR codes will take you to time-lapse videos of the construction of each piece of furniture! Modern DIY Upholstery shows the hobby sewer or complete newcomer how to make the leap into home upholstery taking you gently by the hand, demonstrating the simple techniques you need to bring your love of fabric to upholstered items for the home.

You will then learn all about fabric choice and other materials, discover the essential techniques and then embark on the projects which include a simple stool, a vintage sewing box, a blanket box or ottoman, a fluted headboard, a Danish dining chair, a bedroom/nursing chair, a patchwork armchair and a mid-century design two-seater sofa, all guided by the author’s expert instruction. “This book has really set me on fire to go prowling for an ottoman or two, or maybe even a settee. The pictures are lovely, the instructions seem clear upon reading, and there are even time-lapse videos!” —A Dress a Day “Newby furniture upholsterers will be inspired to start their first projects and intermediate to seasoned ‘wrappers’ will definitely be challenged to stretch their fabrics and repertoire with more advanced instructions.” —Home Jelly
