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
  • Limit: 5 Students ⚡

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.


Seats are limited, so sign up now to reserve your spot!
