Jen fell in love with the craft after being introduced to it by the amazingly-skilled Adrian Padgham; Master Upholsterer. So much did Jen’s passion \u0026amp; natural ability show, Adrian offered her a job in assisting his upholstery classes back in 2015. With Adrian hanging up his tools in 2019, Jen has vowed to keep the craft alive with her own version of traditional upholstery classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eChoosing a Fabric\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe meterage of the fabric required will depend on the style of your chair and the pattern of the chosen fabric. From a picture of your chair, Jen will be able to tell you how many metres you will need for your project. You are more than welcome to source your own upholstery-grade fabric from a retailer of your choosing, or, should you want to select from a larger range of fabrics from various fabric warehouses, then we can also help. Check out our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/fabric-explorer\"\u003efabric explorer\u003c\/a\u003e which includes links to our favourite fabric warehouses. From this page, you can also submit an order to request fabric samples to be posted to you and also place a fabric order.
