Upholstering a chair.

The same method works for the sofa.

I used Pellon WonderUnder to attach the fabric to my chair. For those of you who do not know what this is, it's a paper backed adhesive web that turns any fabric into fusible fabric. I bought mine at Walmart for $1.27 a yard and it is about 18" wide.

After making the sofa I decided that it was to deep, so for the chair I took 1/2" off the depth. I think it looks a lot better.

The room is 10" deep and 12" wide. I made that rug myself too.

Here's the chair before covering.

I guessed how much fabric I would need and ironed a piece of WonderUnder to my fabric. I cut the pieces generously to fit each area. I'm hoping that the pictures will show you how I got each piece in place. If you have any questions please ask.

I started with the end that would be the right if I were sitting in it, ironing and cutting to fit.

I then moved to side of the top (does that make sense).

Then the other end which is the same but opposite.

I promised myself I wouldn't forget to take pictures when I got to the middle, but guess what? I did. The middle is one piece of fabric starting with a little bit on the bottom back and wrapping around until it reaches under the front.

The cushion is just more of the same.

And the finished chair.

Once the general size is determined you could change the look fairly easily.

I do have wooden beads for the legs but, since I've given these pieces to my grandson's, I'm not putting them on. These sofa's and chairs are very sturdy. Other than getting them dirty I don't think the kids will do any damage to them.
