Taught by Amanda Brown
Amanda of Spruce Upholstery teaches a masterclass in upholstery, showing you every step of building an upholstered headboard from scratch. She begins by cutting the headboard shape out of plywood with a jigsaw, and then padding the board with foam. Once the foundation is created, she cuts out the fabric, expertly aligning the pattern repeat and pulling the fabric taught, then staples it securely in place. This class is chock full of tips on how to get professional upholstering results at home, and while many tools and techniques are required, Amanda provides all of the information needed to construct a gorgeous headboard with confidence.

I liked the pace of this class. Everything was explained thoroughly. The only thing I wish she provided was an estimated cost for the project. Overall, great class.
