For a long time I have had a major itch to reupholster a vintage couch. I have a bit of an obsession with stalking Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for furniture that just needs a little love and I am constantly seeing insanely cheap vintage sofas with beautiful lines and proportions covered in hideous, worn out upholstery.

You may find tack strips, strips of cardboard or plastic pieces as you are removing the fabric. It is important to keep all of these along with the fabric. As you remove the fabric, label it with a marker, noting where the fabric was on the sofa as well as which end of the fabric is the top, bottom, left, and right.

For most sofas, you will start with the panel on front of the sofa which is typically attached to the bottom of the couch with staples and sewn under where the couch cushions will be. Once you have stapled the bottom side, you can either hand sew the final side or you can go a much easier route and use upholstery pins instead.

First you need to cut your fabric for the tufted portion of your sofa. Use the old upholstery you removed as a pattern when cutting your new fabric. You can also use the old button holes to mark where the button holes will go on your new fabric at the same time; this will make the entire process so much easier.

If you are recovering the original cushions that came with the sofa rather than replacing them, be sure to remove the old covers and give them some time to air out. I was somewhat amazed at how much my couch cushions fluffed back up once the old covers were removed.
