there are tons of diy upholstery videos on e-how, the diy network and a number of other sites like curbly.com. just type in “chair reupholstery” how-to, etc in google and you’ll find tons of options on youtube :)

Where are some good DIY sites for reupholstering? I have quotes for 2 of my gamma’s chairs but I could buy whole new chairs at the prices they charge!

I don’t know about all this fabric people are using in these before and afters. These chairs look like they’ll be back in 2012 as ‘befores’. I would get very sick of that fabric quite soon.

Great Job!!! I would also love any instructions you might have on re-upholstery.

I love that fabric—it looks like someone daydreaming and doodling of Spring.

Love it! I have a chair waiting patiently for re-upholstery as well, but I haven’t settled on the fabric.
Sandra, there are a number of sites with good upholstery basics, but I think you will find that each piece is really different, depending on the shape.
