It's Tuesday, which means class night at the workshop 🧵✨

Tonight we've got a deep buttoned sofa, a traditional iron back chair, small stool, large wing chair, an ottoman, a traditional arm chair, a retro 1960’s chair, dining chairs, a smal traditional sprung chair and cushions .

Some of my students had never held a staple gun before. Now look at them go 🙌

Who's ready to learn a new skill this winter? Comment 💚 and I'll send you the details for Tuesday evenings.

Before you send that old chair to the tip, check these 3 things 👀

1️⃣ The frame. Solid hardwood that doesn't wobble? That's gold.

2️⃣ The joints. Dowelled or glued joints can be re-glued. Loose isn't the same as broken.

3️⃣ The shape. If you love the shape, the fabric is the easy bit to change.

Old chairs were often built far better than new ones.

Restore, don't replace ♻️

Got a chair you're unsure about? Pop a photo in the comments and I'll tell you what I think 💚

Hello November, and hello to everyone new here! 👋

I'm Amanda, the face behind Amandas Treasures 🤗

🪑 I recover tired furniture and give it a second life.
🧵 I teach upholstery classes here in Coalville and at Leicester College.
🎓 I'm City & Guilds qualified, and teach City & Guilds upholstery. But guess what?……. I still learn something new in upholstery every week.

This month I'll be sharing tips, transformations and a peek behind the workshop door.

Tell me one thing: what's the piece of furniture you can't bear to part with?

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS! ✨

Just look at that pattern matching! 😍

From the top of the cushion, over the front of the cushion, and perfectly aligned with the front of the chair. Every line flows exactly where it should.

That doesn’t happen by accident. It takes skill, patience, precision and pride in your work.

In mass-produced furniture, speed and volume are often the priority. But when you’re working on a bespoke upholstery project, you have the time and freedom to focus on those little details that make a BIG difference.

As an independent upholsterer, I can oversee your project from start to finish. I can take the time to position the fabric, match the pattern and make sure every detail is just right.

Because your furniture deserves more than simply being covered in fabric. It deserves to be beautifully crafted. 💗

And when you choose to reupholster a well-made piece of furniture, you can create something truly individual that you’ll love for years to come.

🪑 Have a chair or sofa you’d love to transform?

📩 Send me a photo of your furniture and let’s chat about bringing it back to life!

😳 “WHAT IF I GO TO AN UPHOLSTERY CLASS AND LOOK SILLY?”

Let me let you in on a secret…

Nobody walks into an upholstery class knowing everything.

Some people have never held a staple gun.

Some have been sewing for years.

Some are confident with tools.

Some aren’t.

Some finish quickly.

Some take their time.

And that’s completely OK.

The best thing about a mixed group?

You get to see how OTHER people solve problems too.

You learn.

You laugh.

You make friends.

And you realise that everyone is figuring something out.

❤️ You don’t need to be good enough to start.

You start… and then you get good.

💚 “WHAT IF I JOIN THE RE:UPHOLSTERED MEMBERSHIP & DON’T USE IT?”

Honestly?

Some months you might not.

Because… LIFE happens!😂

You might be busy.

You might have another project.

You might not even touch your upholstery for weeks.

But that’s not really what the membership is about.

It’s about having a professional resource available when you need it.

🔎 Search for the topic you’re struggling with.

🧵 Watch a lesson.

💬 Ask a question.

🪑 Bring your project to the group.

🎥 Get help when you’re stuck.

And when you suddenly think…

“OH NO… HOW DO I DO THIS?!”

You don’t have to spend three hours trawling YouTube hoping you’ve found someone who actually knows what they’re talking about.

You’ve got somewhere to ask.

That’s the value 🤗

Not whether you log in every Friday at 1pm 💚

🔨 “I’M SCARED I’LL RUIN MY FURNITURE IF I DO IT MYSELF.”

This is probably one of the biggest fears beginners have.

And honestly?

I get it.

You’re looking at a perfectly good chair thinking:

“WHAT IF I MAKE IT WORSE?” 😳

That’s why guided learning makes such a difference.

You learn:

✔️ What to remove
✔️ What to keep
✔️ What to repair
✔️ How to use the tools
✔️ How to put it back together

And here’s the thing…

Upholstery is rarely one irreversible step.

If something doesn’t go quite right, there’s often a way to undo it and try again.

And if your fabric is already old, worn or dated…

What are you really going to ruin? 😉

That’s how you learn.

One staple, stitch and mistake at a time. 🧵❤️

🧵 “I WANT TO LEARN UPHOLSTERY… BUT I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START!”

You’re not supposed to know everything before you start. 😉

Start with the basics:

🔨 Learn the tools
🧵 Understand the materials
🪑 Start with a manageable project
🏡 Set up a simple workspace
👩‍🏫 Learn from someone who knows what they’re doing

And most importantly…

Don’t start by trying to upholster a massive sofa on your kitchen table! 😂

Start small.

Build your confidence.

Learn the techniques.

Then take on bigger challenges.

Everyone who is good at upholstery was once a beginner.

Including me. ❤️

This lovely Parker Knoll wingback came to me torn, frayed and most of its springs were missing… but the frame was solid and those wooden arm details were too good to lose.

✨ We stripped it back.
✨ Adrianne at A.E.L Furniture & Interiors refreshed the woodwork for us taking it back to a more natural tone.
✨ Brand new William Morris fabric, finished all the way round.

Same chair, just a whole new life.

Comment 💚 if you'd have a chair that needs rescuing like this one too!

❤️ “IS IT ACTUALLY WORTH REUPHOLSTERING?”

There isn’t one answer.

But here’s what I’d look at:

🪑 Do you love the piece?

🏡 Is it the right size for your home?

❤️ Does it have sentimental value?

🏛️ Is it antique or particularly well made?

💭 Would you struggle to replace it with something you actually like?

Sometimes the monetary value isn’t the most important thing.

If it’s the only sofa that fits your room…

If it belonged to someone you love…

If you’ve searched everywhere and can’t find another one…

That matters.

Furniture isn’t always just furniture.

Sometimes it’s part of your story.

If you’re wondering whether yours is worth saving, send me a photo and let’s have a chat. 😊
