Instruction
1. If you have decided to replace fabric on upholstered furniture independently, then it is better to begin with chair. If at chair the back is upholstered with fabric too, then begin banner with it.
2. Disconnect this part of back, remove from it fabric. Using it, make pattern. As filler use batting, sintepon.
3. Find fabric with stock that it was possible to correct. Take wooden part of chair back, that which we have disconnected we pull on it fabric, we bend and we beat carnations, but it is better to use the stapler. Attach the updated part back to back. We repair seat further.
4. Invert chair, screws on which the seat is attached unscrew. Find new upholstery of seat from fabric, having made allowances. If filler has deteriorated, replace. And again by means of the stapler attach fabric when you attach try to pull fabric all the time. Apply new seat to chair, fix fastenings.
5. It is more difficult to replace sofa upholstery. For a start sort all sofa. Remove old upholstery, it can be used as pattern. Find new upholstery. If it is necessary replace filler. At sofa upholstery as filler use not only sintepon, but foam rubber. Begin upholstery with seat and back, then sidewalls.
6. Here the work technique is similar to work on chair upholstery. But consider that fabric has to sit very densely, "vnatyazhka". When cutting do not forget to do allowance for seams. Do them more that it was possible to correct inaccuracies if they turn out. To define how many fabric to be necessary, make apportion of pattern and take the measurements, but consider if patterned fabric it has to coincide. You do not cut all fabric at once.
7. Cut out at first one part, for example, sofa back, sew and fit. For upholstery use special furniture fabrics, portyerny it does not do. Before attaching fabric, envelop parts from sofa sintepon. When finishing it is possible to use decorative cords.
