There was a moment a few years ago when I seriously considered signing up for upholstery school. I’ve always loved textiles and am constantly looking for ways to incorporate them into everything. But at the end of the day, I decided to leave the major projects to the pros and instead embrace more manageable projects that I could do over a weekend. So today I thought I’d round up 10 projects that will get your summer upholstery projects going. Whether you’re brand new to the idea of sewing or just need some creative upholstery ideas to fill your summer vacation, these projects are guaranteed to teach you skills you can continue to use (and adapt to different projects) for years to come. For me, these projects aren’t so much about creating the perfect chair or bench, so much as they are about learning skills that will allow you to easily and affordably create a space around you that speaks to your style. So the next time you see a great chair upholstered in an old blanket, you can create your own rather than having to save up to buy something new. Happy upholstering! xo, grace
