My darling husband and I spent a morning re-upholstering our dining chairs and a couple of "captains" chairs. After getting a quote for $100 per chair from a commercial upholsterer, we decided to give it a go. We purchased a little short of three meters and an electric staple gun.
It was so much fun and we're so pleased with the result. MD did the stapling, while I manipulated the fabrics and made sure we didn't get any pleats on the front of the seats.
I love before and afters and we're pretty proud of these!!
The new chair is the lighter colour. Yeah us!!

Good job! Not that hard, now was it? Finding good material/fabric for the job would be the hardest part around here.
ReplyDeletePretty good for a beginner! Now what would they have looked like with patchwork fabric (maybe a Jane Sassamann......) OR crazy patched OR a different block on each seat!!! One could be truly inspirational?????!!!!!
