Upholstery Fabric & Reupholstery in Tacoma, WA

12 of the 26 sewing and fabric businesses we list in Tacoma have upholstery fabric or reupholstery work. Upholstery sits between two searches that map listings mix together: buying the fabric by the yard and having someone do the work. Shops here state that they carry upholstery-weight fabric, cut foam, or reupholster furniture. Bring a photo and rough measurements — yardage estimates and price quotes both depend on the piece, its arms and whether the pattern has to match.

Upholstery fabric is not apparel fabric. Look at the double-rub rating: 15,000+ suits everyday seating, 30,000+ handles heavy use. A pretty quilting cotton on a sofa will pill and split within a season no matter how well it is sewn.

Good to know

How much fabric do I need to reupholster a chair?
A dining chair seat usually takes about 1 yard, an armchair 5-7 yards, and a standard three-seat sofa 12-16 yards. Add 20-30% when the fabric has a repeating pattern that must line up across cushions.

Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture?
Reupholstery makes sense when the frame is solid hardwood and joined well — that is what you cannot buy cheaply today. For a flat-pack sofa with a stapled frame, new is usually cheaper than the labour and fabric.
