Folding Lawn Chair Crochet-Over - with how to photos. {Calleigh's Clips & Crochet Creations}User ReviewedHow to Reupholster a Dining Chair Seat A high-impact way to improve or change the look of any chair with a removable seat is to recover the seat fabric. Whether you have pets and children, or just love to recycle old furniture, you'll appreciate this quick refurbishing technique. Unscrew the seat from the bottom of the chair. Remove the existing upholstery.
Measure the width, length, and depth of the seat. Place the fabric wrong-side up on a flat surface. Trim the fabric so that there is enough all the way around to fold over the edge. Fold a flap of fabric along the straightest side and staple from the center working toward the corners. Repeat with the opposite side of the seat.under Continue along the sides, still tugging firmly to make sure the fabric is tight over the top of the seat. Point the corner towards the center of the seat (along the diagonal). Fold one side down so that the folded edge runs along the diagonal. Fold the other side down in the same manner so that you now have a pleat along the diagonal. Trim any excess cloth.

You can go through one layer of fabric easily, but staples are a problem. Old blankets that are no longer used can make a good batting for chair seats. A power stapler or staple gun is best for this task. A desk stapler won't be strong enough to penetrate the wood. You may wish to line tape the edges to prevent fraying of the cloth. Buy extra fabric so you'll have some left over to make matching place mats, runners, or cushions to coordinate. To really tidy the underside up cut a piece of calico or lining material the same size as the underside of the seat make a 1 inch hem all around and staple this over base of the chair, so no fraying or unsightly wood can be seen. Alternative stapling approach: Start with a single staple in the middle of each left side (doing opposite sides first) and then add two staples (moving outward) on each side, rotating each time. This may help keep the stretch consistent across the edges of the chair, as inconsistent stretch is more likely to be a problem when stapling a whole side at once.

Black breathable fabric (for underside of chair) Remove the bottom black cloth and each piece of upholstery by carefully loosening tacks or staples with pliers. Take photographs or detailed notes as you disassemble the upholstery to keep a record for reassembly. Mark the placement of the pieces, indicating top and bottom as they are removed. Save pieces of welting and tack strips to measure for new pieces. TIP: Try not to rip the fabric because you will use these pieces as your pattern. If staples or tacks are firmly attached, loosen by placing the flat edge of a scraper or flat-head screwdriver under the fastener and tapping the handle gently with a hammer. Use scissors to separate fabric pieces at any seams. Remove old batting from chair back and seat if worn or stained. Check springs and webbing. Sand, prime, and paint chair frame if desired; Cut a piece of batting to cover the chair back and another piece for the seat. Staple each piece in place, folding neatly around the corners.
Lay the original upholstery pieces, wrong side up, on the wrong side of the new fabric, watching for the grain, placement of pattern or motifs, and direction of pattern. Pin in place and cut around pattern, leaving 2–3 inches of excess fabric beyond the stapled edges of the original pieces, which were trimmed after assembly. This will give you fabric to grasp when stapling. Transfer markings for direction and placement onto new pieces. Place your base fabric pieces on the frame (for our chair, the seat and front of chair back). Pull fabric taut and staple in place on the apron of the chair seat and on the reverse of the chair back. Use as many staples as necessary to secure the fabric and keep it smooth. Be sure you place staples on the chair back where they will be covered by the back panel. Using the old pieces as your guide, determine the width of the finished welting and the length of welting needed to go around seat apron at top and bottom. Cut enough bias strips of the appropriate width to equal that length, allowing a few extra inches.
Join the strips with diagonal seams, and trim the seam allowance to 1/2 inch. Fold the bias strip around the cord and use a zipper foot to sew close to the cord. Pin the side panel to the seat fabric, making any necessary adjustments to the fit or pattern placement. Mark the position for the bottom welting. Remove the side fabric from the chair and sew the welting to the right side of the panel, at top and where marked near bottom, starting and ending at the back. Holding right side of panel up against the seat, staple the top welting in place around the seat. Add a tack strip around the panel top against the welting and staple in place. Watch: Secrets to Reupholstering Success Fold the side panel down over the tack strip, pull tight, and staple in place to the underside of the chair with the bottom welting fitting snugly along the edge. Snip notches in the fabric underneath the seat as you smooth around corners. Place back panel in position and fold right side over the top of the chair back.
