In this Upholstered Skirt Skill Video I will teach the techniques I use to create a tailored skirt. The skirt in this video is for a small love seat and has a finished length of 6.5”.

These techniques shown in this vide can be easily applied to any furniture piece.

Any beginner upholsterer with adequate sewing skills can easily fabricate a skirt of this type.

Run Time: 41 minutes

  • Part 1 Measuring And Calculating The Cuts
  • Part 2 Sewing The Pieces
  • Part 3 Adding Skirtex
  • Part 4 Sewing Cording And Skirt Pieces Together
  • Part 5 Attaching The Skirt

Includes a Downloadable PDF
