Make a Beautiful Footstool with Curtains & Comfort Interiors - Even If You've Never Done Any Upholstery Before

Workshop held every Thursday throughout January, February & March 2027.

A step-by-step in-person course at our workshop that takes you from bare frame to finished footstool.

The Problem

You've been looking at tutorials. You love the idea of making something beautiful with your own hands. But every tutorial you find skips the tricky bits, assumes you already own £200 of tools, or leaves you with a wobbly, lumpy result that looks nothing like the picture.

The Solution

This course holds your hand through every single step. From choosing fabric that won't fray, to getting corners crisp and professional, to attaching legs. Master upholsterers will show you exactly what to do, in the right order, with the right tools.

What you'll make: A fully upholstered footstool, finished to a standard you'll be proud of, or gift to someone who'll never believe you made it yourself.

What You'll Learn

  • How to select the right frame, foam, and fabric for a professional finish
  • Cut and apply foam without lumps or gaps
  • Stretch and staple fabric for smooth, wrinkle-free surfaces
  • Nail those tricky corners so they look crisp, not bulky
  • Attach legs securely so they never wobble
  • Add finishing details that elevate your piece from "homemade" to "handcrafted"
