Synopsis

Designed to make upholstery feel approachable, this beginner-friendly guide sets out simple techniques through a selection of achievable projects. Grubb, an upholsterer and workshop teacher, explains each stage step by step, focusing on pieces sourced from antique markets, street sales and thrift stores, then upcycled with a modern twist.

The 10 projects span a range of furniture, from a straightforward stool and vintage sewing box to a fluted headboard, Danish dining chair, patchwork armchair and a mid-century sofa. Each project is supported by unique time-lapse videos showing the author upholstering the item, making this a useful choice for readers starting out in upholstery and soft furnishings.
