Here's some quick tips:

Try setting up a website to generate leads for your business.
Are you mobile? If so, try posting up a few ads on craigslist and offer to fix furniture or upholstery at client's location
Take a lot of before and after pics of your work to place on your website and advertisements.

Sewing/repairing barcelona chair cushions is very complicated and might not be worth the hassle. I'd recommend buying replacement barcelona cushions from Emfurn and charging your client a premium. Here's how cushions are made:


To produce well made cushions, it's a very laborious process:
- First, a piece of high density, polyurethane foam is used as the base.
- It's wrapped it in a Dacron sheet (fire retardant) - Measurements of the base cushion is taken to estimate how much leather it will require
- Then the leather is cut into squares for each panel.
- Once the leather is cut to the exact measurements, each square piece is sewn together, then the panel is sewn together. - The piping is then prepared. Once the piping is complete, it is attached directly over each seam mark, to cover the seam.
- Once all of the above is complete, the buttons are sewn onto the cushions.
