Reconstruction – Reupholstery week 3 – putting it back together

Want to save an ugly ottoman from the landfill? Turn it into a custom piece with reupholstery! Sable will guide and assist you through the entire process from tear-down to patterning to sewing and stapling over the course of 3 weeks with drop in and drop out classes.

Participant requirements:

• Bring a lunch or be prepared to go buy lunch nearby on class days.
• We will provide an ottoman to practice with, or you can bring your own!
• We will help you determine how much fabric to purchase prior to the second week.
  • Reach out to Sable on slack if you need fabric provided or need assistance choosing fabric or determining the yardage needed for your project. Here is a fabric yardage calculator.
• We do not have a space to store project ottomans at Denhac so you will need to take it to and from class.
• An up-to-date tetanus shot is recommended. This vaccine is good for 10 years.

If you are not already authorized on the industrial sewing machines, you will be authorized before the second class.
