I have a old couch of my parents and its still in pretty good nick, so i thought ok, maybe i'll try to upholster it myself.

I'm quite a crafty person, went to uni to do art and design crafts...

How hard could it be? anyone on here do it for a living who can give me advice. I really dont want it to look like one of those horrendous things that you'd see on one of those Home DIY shows with staples holding it all together.

I'm also looking for a course in the area....

Cheers

How hard could it be?

Depends, some jobs are easy, others a bloody nightmare.

Google for Upholstery forum for some advice This (http://www.get-up-and-go.com/upholstery-forum/index.php?board=1) one is quite good.

Other wise wadayawanna know :)

Dear All,

I am the owner of The Unique Seat Company based here in Sheffield. We are intending to start 2 day courses and/or evening classes in basic upholstery skills late in 2012.

If you would like to send your details to enquiries@theuniqueseatcompany.co.uk I would be happy to send out more information to you as and when it becomes available.

Many thanks and kind regards,

H Jones.

Just take the covering off and use it to make patterns ... you can't go wrong!
