Watch the entire wingback reupholstery series here! More videos coming soon as I get closer to completing this project! Watch PART 1, 2, 3, and 4 ~~> ruclips.net/video/O5w9svsRj2o/видео.html
I am reupholstering a wingback chair that is almost identical to yours, and your videos are soooooo helpful! I've watched #4 several times tonight as I get ready to tie the springs tomorrow. I really appreciate you making these videos available!!!!
Just watching this now in 2024 and I must say this tutorial is soooo awesome! So completely extensive and very detailed. No other video I’ve watched is as skilfully informative as this…thank you for posting this project in several parts. I find myself immersed in the whole process not feeling bored or lost in each step. Both the instructor and you, the student, just worked superbly in sync. Every step was explained very well. The questions you’ve asked would have been the questions I would have asked, if I was physically there. I also like that you reiterate the instructions to further clear the need for that step… It’s as if I myself, am actually there with you both learning in that workshop!!! Amazing tutorial…you are one brave lady… please show us more of these upholstery projects. Different styled chairs, sofas, settees, ottomans perhaps? Thank you!!! 🙏🏻
I have the exact style of wingback chair as presented. This is one of the most learner friendly videos I have seen. Thank helping me learn as you learn, and many thanks to the instructor who was so thorough in his instructions. Good job.
Awww...thank you, Daniel! That means a lot to me (and I'm sure to the instructor who is nice enough to allow me to film and pass on the knowledge! :) Glad you're learning along with me!
I have a wing-back chair that has been sitting in my garage for about 10 years! I have removed the fabric from the frame and at one time I had attempted to reupholster it. I am so excited that I found your videos! Here's hoping I'll be up to the task come springtime! I'd really like to get that chair and it's matching ottoman recovered.
You can do it! It's daunting, I know, but just think--if you can do this chair, you can probably reupholster anything! That's how I look at it. Good luck, and I"m glad these videos are helping you!
You have a very knowledgeable person to teaching you. I have a wing chair I want to reupholster, this gives me a better understanding why these chairs cost so much to purchase new and to have redone!
Thank you so much for this valuable information! I know how to do basic upholstery ie. arm chairs and stools, but was terrified of working on anything with springs, webbing, tufting, that metal thing for curves. After these series of videos I think ill be able to build an arm chair or love seat from scratch ( i have some basic carpentry skills) AND upholster it! Thank you for taking the time to make these :)
Yes once again am here for the 4th series, I was thinking to myself yep it looks easing the sewing down of the springs but I dont know if i would be able to do such a big project. You are doing great Serena!! Every set we come closer and closer to the final look. I cant wait!!
Yeah, we were talking about that in class the other day! I had said that it would be cool to do this and the instructor said that it's often done, maybe right at the end before you put the dust cover on the bottom. But I like the idea of hiding it deeper into the crevices of the chair, near the springs, although I guess that would probably get into the way of the springs. So yeah, maybe under the dust cover! Pictures, fabric, a letter--oh my!
Aww, thanks, Beth! There's no class next week due to the holidays, but the following week, I'll make more progress! :) Looking forward to being DONE this chair! It will be so pretty.
I like to use sinuous springs because it's easier and I like the way it feels. I also like to use foam around 50 ILD, vinyl upholstery, and button tufting on my wingback chair.
You are awesome and officially my favorite you tuber after these series. Thank you so much for these videos because I have a client who wants a chair done and it's been very hard for me to get my thoughts on how to complete it. Thank you for the motivation. And keep up the great detailed work. Ps. I think your idea for adding the time capsule part to your piece is a great idea. #weidea
Hmmm....I don't know. I have never used a crochet hook so I don't know how that would work. Seems like the professionals use the curved upholstery needles.
I was going to suggest that too for tight spots or towards the end when trying to get fingers through twine and spring makes it very difficult. If you (or a viewer) has a larger crochet hook lying around, might be a good fix for that problem. Wouldn’t hurt to try.
This video is great! Only thing is you should be giving credit to your fantastic instructor without whom you would still be looking at an empty chair frame!😁
oooo lord yall just lost me with the hand tied springs now I see why my Taylor King, hancock and moore and King Hickory living room sofa and chairs are so much money when purchased i thought I could do this but this changed my mind I'll just let my upholster person do this for me and pay them for this work I defintely have not the patience for this that chair woulda been trashed if I had to do all that myself
Repairing the webbing and springs is something I refuse to do. Maybe a small chair. I have had some old chairs which needed a full repair. Nevertheless it works as it is. Once the new fabric is on you'll never notice the old webbing and burlap etc.

Who else has just had their friggin mind blown by a CHAIR?? 😅🤯 immense respect for hand built furniture like this

So glad that it's helpful!!! Let me know how the chairs go! :)

He’s lovely! So patient and I love his accent!
Wee :D Lol I love his accent too.
Great idea for the note.... WOW I see why it's so expensive to get your furniture reupholstered. 🤤🤤😁😁 I can't wait for the finished product
I liked how you explained it again. Took me two times to understand. Lol! It isn’t easy! Thanks 🙏
This is going to be a mammoth task but so rewarding. I can't wait to start.
This customer going to be a mammoth task but very rewarding.

Did you ever get your reupholstering project started again??
You have a very knowledgeable person to teaching you. I have a wing chair I want to reupholster, this gives me a better understanding why these chairs cost so much to purchase new and to have redone!
Excellent explanation, not only of how to do it, but why each step is important! Thanks!
That's amazing. I love this journey of the chair. My mom took upholstery classes when she wanted to upholster something back in the 50's.
This series is fantastic and though it looks somewhat challenging, it takes a lot of the mystery out of reupholstering!
Thank you so much for this valuable information! I know how to do basic upholstery ie. arm chairs and stools, but was terrified of working on anything with springs, webbing, tufting, that metal thing for curves. After these series of videos I think ill be able to build an arm chair or love seat from scratch ( i have some basic carpentry skills) AND upholster it! Thank you for taking the time to make these :)
You're welcome! I feel the same as you. Once I started the classes, it was less mysterious and seemed easy enough!
Love the accent of the instructor.
Yes once again am here for the 4th series, I was thinking to myself yep it looks easing the sewing down of the springs but I dont know if i would be able to do such a big project. You are doing great Serena!! Every set we come closer and closer to the final look. I cant wait!!
How did he do the loop with the spring
I finally got how he looped it the time capsule will be great!!
The BEST tutorial on upholstery I have ever seen. Thank you SO MUCH.
It is so amazing how detailed it is to do this. Such a great video to watch. Very interesting
I tell you what the day you upload that video of your finished chair Ill make sure to have a glass of wine in victory of your project!
👍😉🍷
Can't wait!
Looking forward to seeing actual fabric installing. Trying to also learn how to upholstry.
What a great idea to do a time capsule! I am loving this series, to see all the steps. Thanks!
This instructor is wonderful. Just saying.
Yaaasss, he is wonderful! So patient, funny, and so knowlegable!
They should have him narrate meditation tapes!
Thanks for this video Serena- I've got a chair I started ages ago and I'm clear on everything except tying my springs 😊
I rather buy a chair but at least now I know how hard it is and you are such an inspiration to girls
Loving your work on this so far. It’s really inspired me to start working on reupholstering my dining chairs again!
Thanks, Anika! You can totally do it, girl! It's got to be much easier and faster than this wingback chair! HA!
Very cool idea for the time capsule. (Maybe one of your great, great, great grand children🤔😍)
Yeah, we were talking about that in class the other day!

thanks for episode 4..am saving em for Spring reupholstering challenge
It's coming along very well. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been waiting for the next video!!! Thank you. Love your videos.
Aww, thanks, Beth! There's no class next week due to the holidays, but the following week, I'll make more progress! :) Looking forward to being DONE this chair! It will be so pretty.
Thrift Diving I’m looking forward to seeing the finished project.
Yesssss can’t wait to see this al done and finished
I like to use sinuous springs because it's easier and I like the way it feels. I also like to use foam around 50 ILD, vinyl upholstery, and button tufting on my wingback chair.
THANKYOU so much for posting the videos they’re really inspiring. All the best !
It sure looks like a lot of work to do but worth the effort. It's going to look amazing when it's all done. I can't wait for the next video. :-)
You are awesome and officially my favorite you tuber after these series.
Thank you so much for these videos because I have a client who wants a chair done and it's been very hard for me to get my thoughts on how to complete it.
Thank you for the motivation.
And keep up the great detailed work.
Ps. I think your idea for adding the time capsule part to your piece is a great idea. #weidea
Were you recently in a Duluth no yank tank commercial? If so, I was like. “Hey, I follow her on YT!” 🙌🏽
couldn't you use a large crochet hook to get that twine in those tight spaces? I'm curious as to how much fabric you end up getting for this chair.
Hmmm....I don't know. I have never used a crochet hook so I don't know how that would work. Seems like the professionals use the curved upholstery needles.
I was going to suggest that too for tight spots or towards the end when trying to get fingers through twine and spring makes it very difficult. If you (or a viewer) has a larger crochet hook lying around, might be a good fix for that problem. Wouldn’t hurt to try.
Did you buy new springs or did you reuse the other one.
Kim Adams she said she cleaned the old springs with vinegar to remove any rust
is part 6 the last one?
How do you remove the legs?
This video is great! Only thing is you should be giving credit to your fantastic instructor without whom you would still be looking at an empty chair frame!😁
I agree--this chair wouldn't be where it is without him!
I was surprised to see the sewing the bottom of the springs in. Hog rings work well or there is a tool made just for the process. Klinch it tool..
Right! I asked the teacher that same thing. I guess he just prefers sewing in?
👍👍
oooo lord yall just lost me with the hand tied springs now I see why my Taylor King, hancock and moore and King Hickory living room sofa and chairs are so much money when purchased i thought I could do this but this changed my mind I'll just let my upholster person do this for me and pay them for this work I defintely have not the patience for this that chair woulda been trashed if I had to do all that myself
OMW, this isn't an easy project. Iyhooooo!!!!
Leave the first coin for the age of the chair and the second coin the year you re-upholstered it.
Repairing the webbing and springs is something I refuse to do. Maybe a small chair. I have had some old chairs which needed a full repair. Nevertheless it works as it is. Once the new fabric is on you'll never notice the old webbing and burlap etc.
Ay ay ay! Makes paying 400-1000 bucks for one of these worth it.
you might as well have just built a whole new chair lmao
Is anyone else kinda mad she didn't have the chance to clean the springs the instructor put down?
Lol, you may be the only one to be mad. 🤣
@@ThriftDiving I would of waited until next class to sew them down 😂😂 so all springs can be cleaned
I know, I considered it, since everything else was new, but oh well! Next chair! Lol
Well, the springs look like a real pain.
Interesting set of videos, but the sound of the instructor is bad and the whole video is ruined.
