Molly Hutchins –
This tutorial was a big help to me in learning how to slipcover a chair. I have been sewing forever, and had pretty much figured out the basics, but Kim’s video was really helpful in ironing out the fine details, like the front of the arms, and the cuts. So thankful to have found Kim’s Upholstery and theses great tutorials.

New to upholstery, this video is extremely helpful. The chair is a great example of Kim’s Upholstery’s lessons. It is thorough and easy to understand.
Simply put, one can actually repeat the lesson from this video. I would highly recommend it.
