What this sheet is for
Know exactly what went into a piece, what it cost in materials and hours, and how to do the matching chair the same way a year later.
Who it is for
Upholsterers working alone or in a small workshop, furniture restorers, and anyone re-covering their own furniture who wants a record of what they did.
How to use it
- Fill in the piece, the job number and the frame condition as you strip it out, and note what was inside — old springs, fill and cover tell you what the piece has had done before.
- Log each material as it is cut or fitted: supplier reference, pattern, width, quantity used and cost.
- Record each stage with the date and the hours it took.
- Keep the sheet with the job file; it is the quote for the next piece of the same kind.
What is on the sheet
2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: One piece of furniture from strip-out to top cover — what was found inside it, every material that went in, and the stages as they were done.
Your materials, your method. Fabric quantities, foam grades and the order of stuffing depend on the piece in front of you and your supplier's own data. This sheet records what you actually used and did, so the next chair of the same pattern starts from a record and not from memory.
Write-on lines: Piece / customer · Job no. · Date in · Date due · Style / period · Frame condition on strip-out · Found inside (springs, fill, old cover)
Fabric and materials — one row per item that went into the piece
Table, 11 rows: Item · Supplier & ref · Pattern / colour · Width · Qty used · Cost · Notes

Stages — as done, with the hours each one took
Table, 8 rows: Stage · Date · Hours · Done by · What was done / problems met
Ruled lines: Notes — customer instructions, problems met, what to do differently next time
Questions
Why are there no fabric quantities or foam grades on the sheet?
Because they belong to the piece and your supplier, not to us. A wing chair in a plain fabric and the same chair in a large repeat need different amounts, and the right foam grade is on your supplier's data sheet. The sheet records what you used, so your own figures build up job by job.
Is this a quote or a costing sheet?
No. It records materials and hours for one job; if you price from it, use the Job Costing Sheet alongside so the mark-up and the record stay separate.
