To skirt or not to skirt – that is the question. Furniture styles wax and wane with the times, and although traditional styles in furniture never go out of fashion, skirts on furniture have taken a style hiatus with the re-emergence of the Midcentury Modern look. Many times, I\u2019ve updated the style of chairs and sofas by removing <\/em>the skirts, as the unskirted look on traditional furniture gives height and desirable sleekness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, such as with swivel rockers, a skirt is necessary to cover an unsightly base mechanism. Modern swivel rockers now have bases that are hidden within the chair or meant to be shown off, but vintage (read: well built)<\/em> chairs are very much worth reupholstering to give a fresh new look. Not all homes are meant to be minimalist, and most people still want comfort over trend in furniture. So, skirts will always be a good option for swivel chairs requiring a cover for the ubiquitous 5 legged brown rocker base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to go through the steps of properly making a skirt. It\u2019s not difficult once you know the basics. You will require a sewing machine<\/a>, an upholstery stapler<\/a>, liner fabric<\/a>, and tissue welting<\/a> to create a skirt for your project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to measure the length of each side of your chair, and then the height from the floor to the top placement of the skirt. The front measurement will usually be different from the back measurement, so always measure all four sides.
