It used to be that sewers and upholsterers were folks who knew how to do it and did it for a reasonable price. Now they are skilled workers not widely available and charge a little more or a lot more. I think that is fair.
I have found that you can buy a new couch for the price to have the old one upholstered. Not only do the upholsterers charge a decent amount but fabric is very, VERY expensive. I am still weighing the choice.
Kudo's to the smart folks who know how to do this increasingly scarce art.
