Student Success Stories:
"I just retired, and now I upholster chairs for friends and family
and spend a lot of time looking for chairs, fabric, and paint. It's all fun! I've done some nice chairs and have improved with each one. I'm still quite slow, but it's about the journey, so I'm ok with that. It has given me the creative outlet that I need."
- Pam W.
"With all the furniture pieces I'm making, I'm finally living my dream.
Wendy and all my new FB friends make me feel like I can do this and make it look easy. There is comfort in knowing if you need help or get stuck on something, help is near. I'm not sure why women of a certain age lose their confidence but they should all take the Chair Whimsy Upholstery Course!"
- Michelle
"The resources are valuable - the links for fabric sourcing are a huge timesaver and the value of the course itself.
I found the course to be very comprehensive and thorough without being overwhelming or too lengthy. Great job and thank you!"
- Megan C.
"I really wanted to upholster a dining room table set, but it's too expensive to hire someone to do it. So far, I've been able to upholster 8 chairs, and I'm even looking into possibly selling them and creating a business with this new skill!
I loved the fact that I could replay the videos over and over again to make sure I'm following instructions correctly. I'm a visual learner, so the slides and videos were really helpful, like being in a classroom with her. Wendy is so accessible to ask questions at any time, and I loved that. The whole process has just been terrific!"
- Jane D.
"Totally enjoyed this class! You are a great teacher and have helped me get past the fear of even beginning a project such as this!
Excited now to jump in to upholstering the chairs in my house! Who knows I might take it farther!"
- Cheryl H.
"It's all about the chairs but it's not about the chairs. You won't find a more detailed, thoughtfully put-together, and engagingly delivered upholstery course, but you get so much more.
The confidence to try something new and different, to embrace your creativity, and to colorize your life. I think that is the best part of what Wendy and the Chair Whimsy courses give me. The added value of the community of similar-minded creatives is priceless."
Cathleen
"This course is invaluable!
I just started 2 weeks ago and I have already set up my tools and I am halfway through my 6 dining room chairs and already looking at chairs to buy on FB Marketplace. I may actually make a business out of this."
- Rene
"The chair making process is so intimidating, but Wendy explains it and breaks it down to such a granular level, it gives you confidence that you can do it too - that you can take an old chair and make it into something gorgeous.
I am quite handy if I want to be, so when I saw Wendy was offering courses, I was curious about the processes and thought processes involved with chair design. You have so many choices, selections, and decisions to make, and the course gives you insight into what can be done. The ideas you get are endless, and your brain goes to places where you think 'oh, I can think like this too!'"
- Neela G.
"I had a really hard time finding the chairs that I wanted to work on my own, but with the course, I found the perfect set of 6 little French bistro chairs almost immediately.
Working on chairs is so different than any other creative thing I'd done in the past, I wondered if this was something I could really do. But the courses are extremely easy, and user-friendly. She's such a good teacher, and so easy to learn from - she really walks you through the content. Very well thought our modules, specific, to the point, and easy to follow. Now, I'm thinking about doing chairs for other people - I could make a business with this to make others so happy.
- Donna B.
"I took this course and loved it. I love that I can go back into it. Soooooo glad I did this!"
