In my business\, I focus on more draperies and pillows than upholstery\, so I decided an upholstery meetup would provide me with information I had little knowledge about. And it did! We had many educational opportunities but we had time to socialize and get to know the other attendees\, who I now call friends. I had so much fun I decided to attend the 2019 Upholstery Meetup too.” \nDonna Cash\, Owner\, Designs By Donna \n“The 2018 meet-up was a great experience. Where else would I have had the opportunity to see chair frames manufactured from start to finish? Or have personalized service at an industrial sewing machine store where I saw machines that I did not even know existed? All of the fabric stores were fantastic – and shopping is so much better when you are doing it with 20 new friends!” \nKip Ford\, Lulu Kate Designs\n“When I signed up for the first Upholstery Meetup\, I had no idea what a lasting impact just 3 days would have! Kim went above and beyond to make sure the trip was packed with relevant tours\, visits and networking opportunities that had a real & practical benefit to those attending. Aside from the structured activities\, meal times provided a relaxed atmosphere to really get to know the other individuals.” \nDonna Scott Johnson\, Lulu Kate DesignsPHOTOS FROM PAST MEETUPS\nLearning\, exploring\, making new friends…\nLET’S EXPLORE TOGETHER. CLAIM YOUR SPOT NOW!\nRegister

I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in upholstering\, beginner or intermediate.”Julie Wood\, Owner\, The Leading Edge Drapery“I attended a three day workshop in Northborough\, MA last year with 4 other ladies and we had a blast learning and enjoying each other’s company whilst working hard. We had Kim with us all the way\, and each of us having a different chair\, we learned different skills watching them do their chairs. Kim helped us from the bare wood upwards until the finished product and it was a pleasure. She explained every technique we did and the correct order of upholstering our piece of furniture.

I found Kim to be energetic and knowledgeable. The class was composed of five women with five different chairs. This did not phase Kim in the least. She was able to transition from assisting one attendee to another with ease and made it seem effortless.

I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in upholstering\, beginner or intermediate.”Julie Wood\, Owner\, The Leading Edge Drapery“I attended a three day workshop in Northborough\, MA last year with 4 other ladies and we had a blast learning and enjoying each other’s company whilst working hard.

Kim helped us from the bare wood upwards until the finished product and it was a pleasure. She explained every technique we did and the correct order of upholstering our piece of furniture.

In my business\, I focus on more draperies and pillows than upholstery\, so I decided an upholstery meetup would provide me with information I had little knowledge about. And it did! We had many educational opportunities but we had time to socialize and get to know the other attendees\, who I now call friends. I had so much fun I decided to attend the 2019 Upholstery Meetup too.” \nDonna Cash\, Owner\, Designs By Donna \n“The 2018 meet-up was a great experience. Where else would I have had the opportunity to see chair frames manufactured from start to finish? Or have personalized service at an industrial sewing machine store where I saw machines that I did not even know existed? All of the fabric stores were fantastic – and shopping is so much better when you are doing it with 20 new friends!” \nKip Ford\, Lulu Kate Designs\n“When I signed up for the first Upholstery Meetup\, I had no idea what a lasting impact just 3 days would have! Kim went above and beyond to make sure the trip was packed with relevant tours\, visits and networking opportunities that had a real & practical benefit to those attending. Aside from the structured activities\, meal times provided a relaxed atmosphere to really get to know the other individuals.” \nDonna Scott Johnson\, Lulu Kate DesignsPHOTOS FROM PAST MEETUPS\nLearning\, exploring\, making new friends…\nLET’S EXPLORE TOGETHER. CLAIM YOUR SPOT NOW!\nSOLD Out

I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in upholstering\, beginner or intermediate.”Julie Wood\, Owner\, The Leading Edge Drapery“I attended a three day workshop in Northborough\, MA last year with 4 other ladies and we had a blast learning and enjoying each other’s company whilst working hard. We had Kim with us all the way\, and each of us having a different chair\, we learned different skills watching them do their chairs. Kim helped us from the bare wood upwards until the finished product and it was a pleasure. She explained every technique we did and the correct order of upholstering our piece of furniture.
