Makeover This Space - Episode 7: How To Reupholster A Couch - First Time DIY

Have you ever been to a thrift store and thought "if I just knew how to upholster I would buy that chair/couch/etc"? If yes, then this video is for you. As a first timer, I was highly intimated to take this project on myself - but in today's video I show you that if you have the patience to learn something new, and the belief that you can do it - you can learn just about anything you want to. I promise you - if I can do it, SO CAN YOU!!! So how about we jump into today's episode?

When you stopped in the middle of the project to learn to sew I thought I’d vomit! 😂. I just cannot believe you pulled this off! I’m so stinking proud I teared up at the end! From someone who has sewn projects: You rocked it!

I was gonna skip the piping because it looked difficult, but man! That looks so professional!! And you made it look easy lol

Just came across your channel and saw what an amazing transformation you did on your sofa. Now I want to do mine. And yes, having a sewing machine is so helpful. I don't know what I'd do without one. I'm short and have to hem all my pants lol. I will say you are making strides. Will be looking to see what else you post. Thank you for your inspiration :)

Is there anything you can’t do?!? Amazing! It’s gorgeous! I can’t wait to see the finished makeover! Happy Sunday!

I have always wanted to try to reupholster something and now I am inspired! You did a fantastic job and used techniques that I can handle too. Thank you! Now I'm going back to the beginning of your posts to see what else I should try.

Clever Girl..Wow great...fantastic job...

[sheenajackson]

Awesome job, thank you for sharing. I plan on covering my old couch but I’m going to use several bedspreads, I’m limited on funds. I also don’t know how to sew but like you I believe I can learn almost anything on you tube. I have learned and completed my backsplash in the kitchen, put down LVP planks on the kitchen floor and used kitchen cabinets to make an kitchen island all from watching YouTube. I think my husband is going to surprise me with a sewing Machine, he enjoys watching me take on learn how to do new projects. Once again thank you for being an inspiration.

[simpleme]

For a beginner you did a great job. And you had a much easier chair also. That was very smart, amazing work..❤

[oliviafusco]

I have to say, as someone that never comments, I’ve just found your channel and I think you are the best, most incredible DIY channel. Truly so calming and inspiring. Thank you for what you do.

[blairrichardson]

As soon as you ripped off that skirt, I fell in love with that sofa. Wow!!

[michellecohron]

I’m so excited that I found your video! I have a chair and ottoman that I need to reupholster and I have been too scared to try it!😳 You are an inspiration and a joy to watch. ❤

Your execution was flawless from the find to the fabric to the sewing piping I came here to get some inspiration for the drop cloth reupholstering I will be doing in a few minutes and I have never done something like this and I am not confident I will come this close. You rocked it, I was smiling so hard the whole time. Cause WHAT ma'am do you mean your a beginner TUH you did an amazing job.

It is STUNNING! Thank you for this video. I have a dining banquette that I want to reupholster and this has given me the confidence to try it. One quick tip: IF your dining sofa feels a little too low when you sit at it to eat, you may want to swap out the legs with some that you can find on Amazon. While deciding if I should recover my banquette or try to buy a new sofa, I noticed that sofas tend to be about 2” too low for comfortable dining. If you’re having that issue, that would be an easy fix. Again, THANKS. It looks AMAZING! 🤩 It was great to see a beginner to do this, and I can’t wait to try it with mine.

That's phenomenal Jessica...I have never taken my reupholstering to that level...not even close. I was actually thinking this may have been a patterned cover...not sure why, but this is really outstanding and you have so many options for accents... I was truly looking forward to this episode and checked yesterday to see if you posted early! LOL always enjoy the projects you and Mark share..you guys make a solid team. Love the outcome! Looking forward to the next unveiling...🧡
