I did not realize how difficult it was going to be to reupholster a chair. This took a very long time and many sewing and ripping out tries. The first thing that I would advise if you are considering this is to take many, many pictures. I took lots of pictures (many more than what I have posted) and I should have taken a ton more.
Their was nothing wrong with this chair other than the fact that it had a lot of pen marks on it and was dirty. I could have stream cleaned it but it wouldn't have gotten out the pen marks so I opted for a new look and decided to reupholster.
Taking apart the chair.
The most difficult piece to put back together was the back.
I used the seam ripper so that I could save the fabric and use it as a pattern for the new material. When I took everything apart I made sure that it was marked so that I would know where the new fabric was to be sewn.
Taking all the staples out was a big job!
Lots of sewing to do.
After many hours, my reupholstered recliner. I don't think I will be attempting to do another one any time soon.
