Upholstering a piece of furniture to make it comfortable requires a careful building of the layers of padding and lining; making it decorative means choosing the right fabrics and trimmings. Each piece in this book has been specially designed by Heather Luke, who uses her extensive knowledge of contemporary fabrics and trimmings-such as buttons, bows, and piping-to finish each piece with a flourish. The first three chapters explore traditional upholstery techniques, taking you through all the stages in careful detail, fromt he bare frame to the fully upholstered piece, dealing with webbing, padding, and tying in springs. Each important step has been photographed as it happened in order to provide a visual sequence to accompany the precise written instructions. The next five chapters show how the quicker, modern upholstery methods-such as stapling-and newer materials-such as foam pads-can provide exciting finishes to boxes, baskets, headboards, and screens. They also describe how to make professional-looking slipcovers and cushoins for a variety of seating.
