Upholstery classes in Columbus.
Learning by doing, not by watching. These hands-on, private classes are perfect for anyone who loves working with their hands and wants to redesign a piece of their own.
One student. Your chair. Your pace.
All classes are private: one student only, or two on request. Each class is tailored around your piece and your questions, so there’s time to show you different techniques and supplies along the way.
Sewing and upholstery go hand in hand. The Beginner class includes four hours of upholstery sewing: you’ll sew a box cushion with welting cord and a zipper, learn double welt, and practice with different sewing feet. Then we “tackle” your piece together.
Be ready to get hands-on: you’ll be using tools, sewing machines and staple guns.
