REVIEWED Stephanie Matheson

You’ll get introduced to the basics of upholstery, working with fabric (along with some ideas on making your own!) and a range of upholstering techniques.

The techniques range from creating a piped box cushion and adding a zip through to lashing springs and tufting fabric. They come with clear step-by-step illustrations and many before and after designer examples that make you want to start sewing right away – true to the principle of this book: if you can sew, you can upholster. It’s the perfect go-to-guide for designers and lovers of all things fabric and furniture.
