In this video we show you how to upholster a tub chair or bucket seat. We show you how to make a template of the tub chair to plan our where the seams are going to go. With a chair with such a curved back, you can't just use one piece of fabric for the back so you will need to sew in seams - which we show you how to plan, template and cut on to your new fabric.

HOW TO UPHOLSTER A TUB CHAIR | HOW TO UPHOLSTER A CURVED BACK CHAIR | FaceliftInteriors - Навчання та стиль
Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors
why do you protect the weds with hessian? would other types of fabric work?
AH hi there! I use hessian as it’s strong and stops the foam from collapsing through the webs. But you could use other fabrics.
OMG!!! What a fantastic video to come across. Love your use of everyday terminology as a beginner of tub chairs. Thank you for saving me hours of mistakes, frustration and walking away from all the tub chairs I have saved up to recover.
Hi Jeannie! So glad you found the video and found it helpful 😊🙏🏻 good luck with your tub chairs!!
Thank you for sharing how to reupholster a club chair..
It’s more exciting to work on when it is a beautiful fabric…great job Neil.
I really agree Ricky! Thanks for your continued support mate, it means a lot 😊👍🏻
Hi Neil, thanks for the reply! For me, my comment was not about being kind...! What I appreciate is, that as a novice following your suggestions and instructions, your explanations are in "layman" terms which everyone can understand! You have a way about you...of making me the "viewer" feel confident! Please do not change your trajectory! Viewing you From France! Good Luck and hope your business is booming!
Thank you Maria! So glad you find the videos helpful and make you feel more confident with your own projects 😊 best wishes to France 🇫🇷
Beautiful work! Love the velvet fabric used. Neil makes this look so easy to do, he's a master!
Ah thank you so much!! Yes it was a beautiful choice of fabric by the customer 😍
I love this! I’m wanting to start this as a serious hobby
Thank you Kai! Go for it!!!
Your videos are really inspiring, given me the confidence to have ago myself. Thanks
That’s so nice to hear! Thank you for your kind comments 😊
Doing a tub chair tomorrow at a upholstery day class👍👍👍

I love your videos
Thank you Jennifer! I’m glad you find them helpful 😁🙏🏻
WOW thank you that was a great demonstration very well and clearly explained you made it seem so easy, How much fabric will be needed for this project??👍👍
Perfect 👍👍👍👍
Thank you man 😊👍🏻
Hi Neil, great channel, so easy to understand and so down to earth tutorials. Great teaching!! Have you thought of doing a tutorial on bergere chair/sofa? I have been searching youTube for Ercol or Parker Knoll upholstery but found none. Thanks in advance.
Hi Helen - thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching! Yes I definitely would do a tutorial if I get a piece in to reupholster. I have previously made a video reupholstering a Parker Knoll but it was one of their more simpler style chairs.
Hi Neil.......I've recently come across your Channel.....your information is so good, thank you so much.....wondered if you could do a video on how to reupholster a recliner........thanking you in advance.....
Hi Lynnee! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment, it’s really appreciated. I don’t do many recliners but if I get one in, I will make sure I make a video for you 😊👍🏻
You made that look way too easy!
Wonderful, thanks! Also, can't help thinking how much easier garment making would be if we could use spray glue and staples. 😂
I can imagine, nothing like a hard bit of wood to staple too. Many thanks for watching 😊 🙏 🧵 ✂️ ⛏️ 📐
Omg that fabric on the original tho , it was awesome
Yea it was a cool fabric!
Thanks for the awesome videos! I had a question about what kind of fabric that's used over the hessian on the back of this chair, before putting on the exterior fabric? thanks in advance! Keep the great tutorials coming for us DIYers across the pond!
Hi Renee! Sorry for the delay in responding. I’m slightly confused about your question as I didn’t use hessian on this particular chair 🤔 do you mean the lining fabric on the outside back? If so, that fabric was just a lining fabric that was already on the chair but you can use any fabric for this if the chair doesn’t have it already. I tend to use leftover fabric that I won’t be using elsewhere for mine. I hope that’s what you meant - if not let me know 😊 thank you for watching my videos from over the pond - it’s really appreciated!!
Decking
These tutorials are the best - thanks Neil - I've learnt so much! Currently trying to reupholster a similarly shaped chair, but I'm redoing the inside back foam, as it was full of hay. Is this a job for 1" soft white foam? It's got zigzag springs/hessian under that. And would you cut the foam to match the seams on the fabric, or does it not matter too much? Thanks for any help!
Hi Katie! Thank you so much for watching and for your support, it means a lot! I usually use 1” white when it’s going to have cushions on the the inside back but if it’s an upholstered back, which yours sounds like it is, I’d probably go 2” white but that’s my preference. Yes cut the foam where the seams are going to go if you can’t get away without cutting the foam. Hope this helps 😊👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors Thank you! You're such a great help!
Great. Can you show the metal gripper in a video. Please
Hi David - thanks for watching! I’ve uploaded a metal gripper tutorial for an outside back some time ago - hopefully you find it helpful 😊👍🏻here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/2bFbJJ76RRw/v-deo.html
So how do I cut new foam for this shape? Mine is a bit different, it has wooden accents for the front of the arm rests that connects to a strip just below the seat section (believe it's from either the 70s or 80s with the color of the terry/velvet it's upholstered with) I really don't want to leave the old stuff on since I have allergies and the dust in it isn't good for me since I can't clean it out. Should I use the old sections to trace directly on the new or onto cardboard or drafting paper to make a template for the new foam? Thank you! Really appreciate this because I've been dying to fix this chair of mine for a year now but felt intimidated by the shape
How would consider a pattern match on tub chair - I’m finding impossible, great job
Hi Sue - it definitely would be tricky!! I would recommend planning out your cuts on the fabric with your lining fabric to try and get the pieces to match and flow.
How do you take a rotating bottom off? I can’t see any screws.
There will have definitely been screws or bolts. 👍✂️📌🧵📐🪡
Just found your channel. Great videos. Any online suggestions on where to source fabric and supplies? I'm in the US and am looking for dark red paisley fabric. Tried looking a while back.
Hey!! I’m afraid I don’t have any suppliers in the US. My advice would be to join the ‘upholsterers friendly forum’ on Facebook as there’s upholsterers from all over the world in the group who are always happy to give advice! Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors Thank you for the videos. I consider you to be the Julia Childs of upholstery. You make the viewer feel that upholstery is very approachable and we can see that you have fun doing it.
Hi! Great job! Tell me, what is the name of the black material that you use to cover the seat? And on the frame under the upper curved plywood slat of the backrest, a narrow curved plywood or wooden slat is lined along the contour for attaching a metal tape with teeth?
Hi there! Thank you for watching! The black fabric is called black platform lining fabric. I’m not sure what the second part of your question was? 🤔
@@faceliftinteriors Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately, my English is not very good.))) Therefore, the second part of the question will sound like this: to which base is the Ply Grip attached from behind: from plywood or wood? Is it possible to give any link to the sale on the Internet: "The black fabric is called black platform lining fabric" - I want to find such a fabric. No problem, if my questions again cause difficulties, I still thank you for the answer.
Sure like this. The energy, quite contagious. Got me out of the sofa. Off topic: your dialect....just curious, from where in England?
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed 😊 I’m from North West London.
@@faceliftinteriors Never guessed. Good to know! Greetings from Oslo
@@tormodgustavsen9249 Ahh amazing! Best wishes to Oslo!

Approximately how many yards of material do you need for this chair?
I work in metres, approximately 5m for this one. 👍🧵📎📐✂️⛏️
How much meter of textile was used for this chair?
Hi Rhea! I used 5 metres of fabric.
