    my mom was a seamstress & milliner. When she taught me to sew she insisted that the inside be as beautiful as the outside. This was a pleasure to watch.

      I added "rope binding" to a twin bed mattress cover using solarium fabric using my commercial juki sewing machine. I used took apart old cover and used it as a pattern exactly. I noticed the fabric puckered a little as I was going along applying the cording but didn't think any thing of it and when I was attaching the sides now, Im about six inches shorter at the end on the main piece. what caused this?

    This is a blast from the past. Growing up my father had a furniture shop. He made bedroom sets and living room/den sets. From start to finish, he did everything. My oldest sister was given a bedroom set and a living room set when she moved out. (She is much older than I am.) She had both sets, for 30 years. The bedroom set still looked brand new. And there was not even a loose thread on the living room set and yes, the fabric was very outdated!!! Products that are made with quality in mind, truly does last. Thank you for the video. I never had any clue on how he sewed the cushions.

      Truly, your sister has a treasure, and evidently she knows it because she took care of it, and treasured it!❤ as far as the outdated, upholstery fabric. That’s all right it takes her outdated lol vintage is also outdated.😊 she’s smart for not changing a thing on her furniture. And God bless your heart. Evidently you like me you got left behind and without.😢 i’m sorry. But maybe you could learn how to do. Upholstery pick up some old pieces and start your own collection of antique furniture.♥️ Good luck, dear. Have fun.😃❤️❤️❤️

    My mom was an incredible seamstress not professionally but she could make clothes all the way to upholstering furniture. My parents are from Mexico so sewing was a necessity. I have pictures of them wearing pants and dresses made from the fabric they would buy bulk goods. I have pic of my mom in a dress made from sack she said the flour they bought came in. 😮She mainly did drapery for the home and cushion/pillow covers. When I was a teen I wanted to learn to make snowboarding pants that were cool and would fit bigger guys like myself as most snow gear at the time ( early 90’s) always seemed to be made for super skinny dudes. She never taught me but I also never pushed it but I wish I had. She told me that making clothing anymore wasn’t worth the effort because clothes were so cheap now 😂 I still find myself wanting to learn but she’s right about the clothes/gear. I grew up in a self employed family making silver tack and western jewelry. Sad truth is people want to buy American made but don’t want to pay for American made time and material. My father’s business disappeared after 40 years.

I just finished cutting the dense foam piece with my handheld electric meat/bread slicer. Works great for fish too. The zipper application is exactly what I needed to see. His old cushion and zipper were destroyed (parts missing) and was hard to determine exactly what it was so I started from scratch. All I need now is to go grab some ‘silk film’ the shop vac and get this done! Thank you!!!

    What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing this. I am about to attempt to recover some pieces of antique furniture I got second hand for little and nothing due to the shape it was in. It was exactly the style I wanted though and to buy it already reupholstered would have cost about 30k. I really appreciated how you addressed the thickness of the fabric with all those layers. I honestly was going to give up but when you said I could likely get away with using my home sewing machine with a thinner fabric I was so relieved to hear that. I am going to be using silk dupioni to re-cover the pieces as it will not get much use and is mostly decorative and that fabric is fairly thin. I am so excited to get my project underway now. Your clear instructions and all the information you shared has made me quite confident.

    Hi there! I’m working on my first wood working/upholstery project, which has been quite the undertaking and learning expirence.
    I am making a cushion for the first time using foam and I’d really love for the cushion to fit tightly. The foam is 64.5”x24”x4”.
    While your video is great! I’m having a really hard time understanding if I make my original measurements slightly smaller for the tight fit… for example you use 3.25 inches on your boring to compress the 4 inch foam. Should I also take in my length and width?
    Would love advice from anyone! 😅 thank you so much!

    • @lindsayorwig2368
      @lindsayorwig2368 Місяць тому

      Hi! Cynthia the instructor is my mentor here in Minneapolis. Generally speaking, you’ll want to oversize your foam for the finished size of your cushion. Determine the finished size of your cushion first, as those dimensions are the most important. Then, cut your foam a bit larger than your finished dimensions. In the video, she has a finished 3.25” boxing, and a 4” foam, so she oversized her foam by a total of .75”. Doing the same for your length and width will result in a nicely full cushion.
