Craft books: The Upholstery Bible

Instead of throwing your old chairs away, why not learn how to re-upholster them, in the fabric of your choice? This comprehensive book covers all the tools, fabrics and techniques. A challenge, perhaps, and certainly labour-intensive compared to more ‘ladylike' crafts, but this manual makes everything look easy.

The Upholstery Bible, Cherry Dobson (David and Charles, £16.99), www.amazon.co.uk
