Some context: I am 21F. I have always been a crafty person and I have some basic sewing experience but Iโve never reupholstered anything in my life. I have a couch in my apartment that my mom bought off of FaceBook Marketplace for $50 about two years ago. It didnโt LOOK great when we bought it, but it mostly in good shape physically, and I was covering it in pillows and blankets anyway. I absolutely love it; itโs so comfy and sturdy. However, the fabric is really degrading. Itโs looking worse and worse, and since I only ever sit on one side of the couch, that cushion is severely flattened. I want to try and reupholster it by myself, but Iโm worried Iโll ruin it. It only cost $50, and I canโt help but wonder if the cost materials will be more expensive than just buying a new couch second-hand. I really love it though so Iโm not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hey Reddit,
Does anyone know of any good reupholstery shops in the city that doesn't charge an arm and a leg?
I'm looking to get 2 chairs re-done.
Thanks!
