Todays job was originally to warp, but my helpful friend wasn't available so instead I decided to re-upholster my sewing room chair. It's an office chair, but the old upholstery was starting to shred so it was time to redo the whole thing.
I forgot to take a photo of the whole chair, but this is the back of it to give you an idea of the "before" look.

And the reveal after 3 hours of hard work

I couldn't get the bottom of the chair off completely, so had to work around that, but despite that I think I did a really good job and I will do it again for the boy's chair too. Not in this fabric though, not enough left and I think something that won't show the dirt is called for.
The fabric is cotton canvas from
Wholeport, I also used a Stanley staplegun to secure the fabric before trimming and reassembling the chair. I figure it probably saved me a good $100 as it meant I didn't have to buy a new chair and it also kept this one out of landfill; win/win.

Looks great, love the fabric. Much more character than a generic office chair now.
OMG - that's awesome! I wish I had of thought of doing that with our old office chair. We have one of the lightweight mesh ones now - but that looks amazing.
Not only did you save money and landfill space, you've got something totally unique you wouldn't find at the store! I love it!
What a transformation.....great job!
Looks perfect to me :)
