I am SO impressed!! My father-in-law recently passed away, and my husband and I have been figuring out what to do with a bunch of his furniture. He has several wing chairs almost exactly like this, that I think he bought from thrift stores! We were just planning on sending the wingchairs right back to the same thrift store.
Thank you so much!!! Your chair looks beautiful! I know how to take care of the smell, but since i will need to replace everything but the wood…do you have any suggestions or have you done one like this? I definitely will take your tip and start with an inexpensive one and see if i can even do this. Also, if you can ever show how you take off the fabric, where you start, what you cut….
Thank you for your help and advice. I just had to leave a comment because im about to venture into re-upholstering my first chairs i just got 2 from thrifts stores so i have been browsing around tutorials and stumbled upon yours…. Should I shy away from cotton, quilting type of fabric? Yes, you definitely do not want cotton fabric. You need fabric that is upholstery grade, or at least canvas. NICE job, I am going to do 2 of them, ours are looking sad and I want to take my bidding at this little dilly.
I love your wingback chair. I have 2 here to do and they will be in a similar fabric as yours. I have done several pieces, a couple sofas and several chairs. Would love some feedback on that. The ply grip looks easier. I have two different fabrics that I want to use.
One is a funky, colorful geometrical pattern and the other is just a solid navy blue. Have you have done anything with two different materials? Can you explain the best way to tackle it? Also, how do you recover the cushion? I have not had much luck trying to find a tutorial on it. I have seen several chairs with two different fabrics. They are sooo cute! Cushions are not my favorite to be completely honest.
But, to tackle it, take off the existing fabric, use the original fabric as a pattern for your new cushion. I decided last time that I was going to have the cushion sewn by a seamstress because I wanted it to look professional. I can do the rest no problem, but the cushions are a buggar! I have a wingback chair and am considering doing it myself, and this is helping! How long did it take you to do the whole chair?!!
Thank you I have a wingback Chair that is dying and I want to Reupholster myself. Can you please tell me how to begin taking it apart? So that was a brilliant idea to use the old fabric as a pattern. Me and my husband found a chair at the D.
Your site is saving me thank you! Hi Is there an easy way to do the chair cushion cover? Regards Christine. Well done -I hve a chair sitting in my dining rm waiting to be recovered. Feel its going to happen after seeing the beautiful job you have done!
I love this! Congratulations on a beautiful job. I have a wing chair that needs reupholstering. Anticipated I would need 6 yards of fabric. I love the chair and it is structurally in excellent condition. I appreciate you sharing your story and tips. What you did is fantastic. Upholsterers probably wish you would move away!!! I have a wing chair with a worn out arm and a fallen-through seat and the cushion has lost all its plumpness it secretly wants to be a pancake. Great job!! Looks beautiful.
Question, how many yard of fabric did you buy? I have two chairs, similar design. Scared to start!!! I love everything about it! I Love yellow and white. So fresh and clean. I have two wingback chairs to refurbish. Your chair is beautiful! Never be afraid to try something.
Your results are fabulous. First thing I ever recovered were two wing chairs. Surprisingly easy, even added piping! Hardest bit was getting out all the staples when removing the old cover, took ages. Great Job!! This chair looks like Money… You just inspired me to reupholster my chair? Thanks so much? Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Consider the nap and pattern of the fabric that you want to use as you arrange. You may want to make a drawing or take a photo so that you remember the optimal piece arrangement when you have your fabric for upholstering.
Measure the distance between the first piece that you laid down and the last one and write it down. There are 36 inches in a yard, so divide your measurement by 36 to get the yards if you use a measuring tape. You will most likely have a part of a yard in your measurement. It is possible to buy half or quarter yards; remember that it's better to have a little too much fabric than not enough.
