There's an upholsterer here who offers small classes where people work on projects under her supervision, and it's not all that expensive.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Dana! I am so sorry to hear that news. I do hope one of you finds something awesome soon that does not require moving.
It costs as much or more than a new couch.
Unfortunately this has been my experience. Finding a class or some other more reasonable option might be possible.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The scales are actually tipping toward new chair, but I'll do the pricing, just to be sure. Thanks for the input!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think I'd find someone who will appreciate the chair to give it to, and buy a new one that works for both of you and has a matching ottoman.
One thing I'm having to learn is that just because a piece of furniture is wonderful doesn't mean it has to keep living in my house. stares at awkward coffee table

Nice sword, Gud!
I'm sorry about the job loss, Dana. Job~ma to you and your DH.
I believe a nearby community college here offers upholstery classes where they let you bring in projects. My neighbor was thinking of taking one, because she'd have direction and access to equipment that might make things easier. Might be worth looking into community colleges in your area, Beverly.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think the structure of that chair would make reupholstery worthwhile. No new chair will have the same quality of construction.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yikes, Dana. Scary times.

That sucks, Dana. I'm sorry. I guess at least he's getting out of a misery-making job.
