Clothing
IN THIS LESSON
Fabrics can be damaged by the environment or normal wear and tear...
…and need to be replaced because the furniture is still in good shape.
Start by making clothes for yourself and take note of the current fashion trends.
Fabrics, also known as textiles in the furniture and decorating businesses, can be damaged by the environment: light, temperature and humidity, especially direct sunlight, are the main causes of damage, as well as normal wear and tear.
Fabric covers just about everything in a home or office and someone needs to restore and repair that fabric which may be torn, faded, stained or burnt.
This is a specialised area of sewing and a course in fabric restoration would be beneficial.
Start by asking friends and family if you can work on some furniture that needs restoring.
