Unless you are experienced in sewing and upholstery this is not a task for you, find a professional and get a quote. Check a business directory, ask in a fabric store or check with friends.Helpful Reply -

Check to see if there are evening classes in your area that teach upholstery. You would learn from a pro and have the help you need. Or see if any fabric stores have someone who could help or a bulletin board who may list some one to help. Good luck!Helpful Reply -

Unless you have excellent sewing and upholstering experience, I would not attempt redoing those incredibly lovely pieces. Get quotes from a few professionals - advertise help wanted in your local paper. You may find a retired pro who would be happy for a little extra income as well.Helpful Reply -

It is worth forking out a few extra dollars to get a professional job on upholstering since you will be living with the results. Your furniture is very nice looking and you don't want it distract from that beauty with a less then perfect upholstering job.Helpful Reply -
