This was such a clear and concise video, and worked like a charm. We had followed another video first and the vinyl cushion came out Horrible. My friend and I watched your video and you made it look so easy. By working in smaller sections it made the vinyl much more manageable to work with. BTW our cushions came out Fantastic! Thanks, this was the best video by far!!!

You've done a really lovely job. How would you tackle an old tripod swivel antique piano stool with sheepskin?

@mywithallmyart 5 ай бұрын

I would have to see it. If the sheepskin is just a covering, I might just remove it. However, if the seat itself is sheepskin, then that is a whole other issue!

@NinaSharee 6 жыл бұрын

So you left the old cover on? I just bought some faux leather fabric to reupholster my bar stools and your video makes it seem soooo freaking easy!!! I'm not much of a DIY so the easier the better

@mywithallmyart 6 жыл бұрын

Yes. I left the old cover on. It was thin microfiber suede. And I had staples long enough to go thru both layers and hold. It was easy. Just take your time and make sure your fabric is smooth. and then staple away!!!

This is such a helpful video, thank you so much! I have 2 thrifted counter stools with cane-covered swivel seats. Can I use your technique, but with fabric or faux fur? Should I leave the cane as is or maybe add a thin batting?

@mywithallmyart Жыл бұрын

Yes, you can use fabric or faux fur. Just make sure the fabric is not too lightweight to accommodate the use. Also, if the cane is in good shape you can leave it and add batting or upholstery foam. If you use batting cut it just a bit bigger to soften the edge. I hope this help and makes sense.

@BethKiesel3n1 Жыл бұрын

@@mywithallmyart thank you for your prompt reply! I was thinking of using an upholstery fabric, or heavy cotton/canvas. The cane itself is broken in places, and tbh, rather scratchy to sit on. The backs have the same cane as an insert, but I'll probably just leave them as is. I'm not sure how I'd remove them anyway. Thanks again for your help!

@lynnandgaryryan5093 3 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for the video! Q. You cut to pieces of fabric; do you use both for one stool? Also, what kind of fabric is best to use? Thanks so much for your help!!

@mywithallmyart 3 ай бұрын

I cut one for each stool. It was easier for me to cut them at the same time. The fabric choice depends on the amount of use your stool will get. I used an upholstery vinyl that was strong but pliable. Some vinyl, like for boat seats, was to stiff for the look and feel that I was going for. You can use upholstery fabric or a cotton duck cloth.

@doYYY-gq1ox 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for the video. I have 3 stools I need to recover. How much fabric would you need? Would 5 yards be sufficient? Thanks.

@mywithallmyart 6 ай бұрын

I would think 5 yards is plenty. Depends on the measurements of your stools. Measure from one side to the other, add 2 to 3 inches to each side for turn under. The other consideration is the width of the fabric. And unless the seats are larger than 36" wide (which would be some really large seats) 5 yards is more than enough.

If there are three small tears (.5 in) in the existing pleather can you still redo over it?

@mywithallmyart Жыл бұрын

It might depend on the amount of wear the seat will get. But I think it would probably be fine. If the original cover is fabric, you might put a couple of stitches just to secure it. I hope this make sense.

Yes, you can. You might need longer staples.the exception would be if the original vinyl is dry and cracked, it could damage your new vinyl.

Can you remove the staples and start over. Work opposite sides first and with the straight grain. The bias edges will have a bit more give allowing you to ease in those sides.
