Instructions

Step One

This old chair was still in decent shape, but the seat had really given out. Rather than strip the entire chair and reupholster it, let’s give it a makeover by sewing a pretty pillow to cover the seat with!

Assemble your supplies. You can find the tuffet kit and Poly-Fil links in the supply list above. All you have to do is choose a fabric for your project.

The tuffet is easy to make. Please see the video for step by step instructions.

The foot rest combined with the support from the new seat cushion make this chair so much  more comfortable now! This quick project is an easy way to update your old furniture.
