Alternatively, you could take the class and do your own seats.� I recommend caution with this approach, however, due to unanticipated outcomes.� My bride signed up at our local school in order to re-do the club chairs we'd picked up.� She fell and dislocated her right elbow after the first of the twelve sessions and no tuition refund was available, so guess how I spent an entire season of Saturday mornings.

But I can do upholstery now.

The local community college here has an upholstery program that does great
work at unbelievably low prices.� You have to get on the waiting list but
its worth it...
