How to Upholster a Small Chair

Ready to give an old chair a brand-new life? Join Kymm Clark at LullCo Design Studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan for this fun, beginner-friendly upholstery class designed to help you complete a small chair project in just one session!

What you’ll do:

• Learn the basics of upholstery through a quick-turn-around, hands-on project.

• Use pre-cut materials (foam, batting, and padding) so you can focus on the fun part — stretching and stapling fabric for a professional finish.

• Get step-by-step guidance from LullCo’s upholstery expert Kymm Clark on how to position new material, and achieve crisp corners and clean edges.

• Use professional-grade tools and supplies in our fully equipped studio.

Who this class is for:

• Beginners who want to complete a project start to finish in one day.

• DIYers, thrifters, and home decor enthusiasts ready to try upholstery.

• Anyone who wants to refresh a small chair, vanity seat, or dining chair with new fabric.

What you’ll walk out with:

• A beautifully reupholstered small chair — ready to take home the same day. (INCLUDED!)

• The confidence to tackle your next upholstery project on your own.

• A clear understanding of how fabric choice, tension, and trimming affect your final look.

• Skills that translate directly into more advanced furniture restoration.
