<p><b>This is <i>the</i> manual for anyone who wants to become a skilled upholsterer.</b></p><p>The book contains a total of 15 step-by-step projects. The first eight are basic skills projects and collectively these explain the key skills needed to complete any upholstery task that might arise.</p><p>The projects include a drop-in-bottom chair, an overstuffed seat, caning, a box cushion and recovering a modern chair. The remaining seven projects involve the application of skills learnt in the first chapter. Pieces featured are an Art Deco armchair, a wing chair, a chaise longue and a leather chesterfield.</p><p>A basic techniques section is included, but the aim of this book is to get straight into the projects, getting hands-on experience of upholstery. There is information on the tools and materials needed, a quick overview of the key skills, where to look for furniture that you can upholster, and advice on choosing fabric. No other book on the market takes such a clear, progressive approach to teaching upholstery.</p>
