Introduction to Making Upholstery Buttons

Video: Alison Scott Upholstery, YouTube

Alison Scott has taught traditional upholstery for more than 35 years, through in-person classes and now a library of over 100 video tutorials at alisonscottupholstery.co.uk. This one covers a skill every upholsterer needs sooner or later: making your own covered buttons to match the top fabric, rather than relying on a pre-made set that never quite matches.

Each issue this slot carries one video from a working maker showing a technique, a tool or a repair. The video is the maker's own and plays from their channel; we add the context. Send yours to editor@thefurnituremagazine.com.
