What an awesome guy Gary is! He knew you could learn to upholster and instead of feeling threatened sharing his trade secrets, he is sharing them & spreading the love ( or just wanted you to stop bugging him lol wink wink). Btw, cool chair, just looking at it, kinda looks like it's dyed leather which gives it a unique and cool finish.

Hide it from hubby!😂😂 You are sooo cute! This was a well explained tutorial!! Love the old timey music too..not sure I'll ever paint velvet but you did trigger some creative ideas for me. Also how 'bout pillow covers?? Have you tried that yet? Thanks!💚(I also like that patina look you created with the brown showing through. )

How has the chair held up?

Help help @ellenjgoods!??! I have a microfiber sorta looks like a velvet or velour type fabric or i don’t know really old recliner rocker it’s SAGE green very light sage green ( I doubt it’s cotton) I saw all your steps so I get it sort of ….so for a pale light sage green chair what products and colors can I use to get a MOSS GREEN velvet look?? Like the seventies style velvet you still see when you type in miss green velvet chair ?? Thx.

I’m so sorry that I missed your comment, Heaven, I hope you see this. I think that you will just need to experiment with some different shades of a darker green. It’s really hard for me to judge what the outcome would be since I don’t know what you mean by a light sage green, and every paint will react differently depending on the color and the fabric content . We all see incense color differently. I say test on a small area and see what happens!

Painting a cotton velvet works best. Sometimes the synthetics don’t accept the paint as well.

Could you add WHITE VINEGAR TO YOUR WSYER SPRAY? I'm an old hairstylist and I used to apply this solution to grey hair before coloring and all I can say it IT WORKED FOR HAIR FYE do why not paint ? Try it on a spot of the fabric you suspect could be a cotton Blend. What have you got to loose? Live the chairman I hope you got the sofa! I font underdtand the " hide it from my husband" anyone.

Vinegar is a dye setting agent. I'd put about 2 tablespoons in your water bottle. I'm betting you'll see a difference in how the fabrics take the paint or some cars USEING Ryt fabric dye now as well on upholstery. Good luck.
