Re-Upholstering 101

The first chairs I ever re-upholstered were in my dining room. I'd purchased a house and all of the new furniture from the staging was included which left me with brand new dining room chairs in a fabric I couldn't stand. So I reupholstered them. This was before you could learn to perform open-heart surgery and everything else under the sun on Youtube so I had to simply "figure it out." You have no idea how excited I was much later when I watched a tutorial on the subject and learned that I did it exactly right! So, find yourself a seat...not to sit on but to re-upholster, of course! :)Let's get started.Basic tools:Screwdriver, enough fabric to cover the seat and fold over the sides onto the back, a heavy duty stapler, a staple remover, and any stain/paint to cover the legs (if desired/applicable).
