We have been accumulating mismatched wooden chairs from the thrift store and have finally managed to get a ’set’ of six (for some reason chairs are hard to find in our neighborhood, it really was tough to find six sturdy ones). Unfortunately, three of these chairs had slightly stained and/or ugly seat covers. So I recovered them.

The process is really quite easy, although I’m sure I’m not doing a job that a real upholsterer would find acceptable. I just unscrewed the seat from the chair, cut a piece of fabric to fit and stapled it on, folding the fabric at the corners. The hardest part turned out to be screwing the seats back on straight, go figure!

After:
