Frequently Asked Questions

Can Sew What handle both my dining chairs and my car seats?
Yes, the shop works on both furniture and auto upholstery. You can bring in a set of dining chairs and a vehicle in need of seat work, and they'll handle both projects.
How long does a typical furniture reupholstery job take in Churubusco?
Turnaround time depends on the piece and current workload, but most standard furniture jobs take one to three weeks. It's best to call ahead and ask about current lead times before dropping anything off.
Do I need to bring my own fabric, or does the shop supply it?
Most upholstery shops carry a selection of fabrics for you to choose from, and Sew What can typically help you pick something that suits your style and budget. If you have a specific fabric in mind, you can also bring your own yardage.
Is reupholstering a couch actually cheaper than buying a new one?
It depends on the piece. For solid wood-framed or high-quality furniture, reupholstery often costs significantly less than buying a comparable new piece. A shop visit or phone call can give you a realistic cost comparison.
What types of vehicles can they work on for auto upholstery?
Auto upholstery services typically cover cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. Classic car interiors, work trucks, and everyday daily drivers are all common projects at shops like Sew What.
Can torn or cracked car seat leather be repaired, or does the whole seat need to be replaced?
Minor tears and cracks can often be repaired or patched without replacing the entire seat cover. A technician will assess the damage and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
