I have 6 dining room chairs with fabric seats. The fabric is light and I want to make a cover for them. I do not want to cover the entire chair, only the seat portion. I have a little sewing experience so I'm not worried about the construction of the cover, just the measuring of the fabric. Any ideas or references on how to do this?
Upholstered seats should screw off the frame of the chair. Lay the cushion top down on your fabric and cut it about 6 out. Pull up the corners first and staple in place with a staple gun. Pull up the centers of all 4 sides and staple, pulling snug. Now pull up the rest of the fabric and get it all stretched and stapled. Trim off any extra and screw it back on the chair frame. No sewing at all.
Measure the length and width of the seat. and go to any fabric store. Give the measurements to the clerk and pick your fabric. She will figure how much you need to buy
