How do you reupholster a sofa?
LOL...the process is too long and difficult to explain here. You have other options. There are some nice slipcovers available these days....
use gel ink pens and chalk, Regular ink stains permanent Mark left sides, center, right side skirts, inside/outside wings, arms Strip all the off tack/staple by tack/staple Do not rip the fabric split the seams lay old fabric on top of new and trace with chalk mark notches old to new fabric, for aligment Sew corresponding seams to pattern
You need to dissemble the Sofa, take off arms etc., and then you can unstaple and unpick the existing upholstery to use as a pattern. Remember when choosing a fabric make sure it is an upholstery fabric and take into account the way the patterns run. I re-upholstered mine with excellent results, but it's no 5 minute job and you have to re-assemble it after you have recovered it. Good Luck.
