About this Event
🎉 Ready to learn the art of upholstery and breathe new life into an old armchair? 🎉
Join me for a hands-on, 4-week upholstery workshop where you’ll transform a simple piece of furniture into something beautifully custom. ✂️✨
In this beginner-friendly class, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the entire process of reupholstering your very own armchair. Over four weekends, you'll learn the techniques I use to create custom furniture, from stripping down and prepping your chair to cutting and sewing fabric, and then reupholstering the entire piece. 🪑🧵
What You’ll Learn:
- How to safely take apart and prep your armchair for reupholstery
- Cutting and measuring fabric like a pro
- Sewing techniques to create beautiful, lasting seams
- Reupholstering the seat and back cushions, using professional methods
- How to finish your project with a flawless, professional look
What to Bring:
- One armchair to reupholster. A classic arm chair like or wingback. If you are unsure you can email us at [email protected] before registering.
- Fabric of your choice (we’ll guide you on fabric selection when you register)
Class Details:
- Dates: 📅 Saturdays - 9/20, 9/27, 10/4, 10/11
- Time: 10am - 1pm
- Location: 📍 SpiritThread Studio & Stitches, at The Bridge Storage and Art Eventst in Point Richmond, East Bay

Why You’ll Love It:
Not only will you walk away with the knowledge to upholster your own furniture in the future, but you’ll also be able to proudly say that YOU reupholstered a chair with your own hands! Plus, compared to the average cost of hiring us to reupholster a chair ($700-$1,000), this class is an unbeatable value.
This workshop will empower you to create something beautiful and functional that reflects your personal style. Bring your chair, your fabric, and a willingness to learn—you’ll leave with a sense of pride and a custom armchair to enjoy for years to come.
