I enjoyed this tutorial, you don't talk to an excessive degree like some of the DIY videos that take 5 minutes just to get to the point. The instructions were also very clear.
Thank you! Several times during the filming process I started to ramble a little and repeated the instructions in a more concise way. I try my best to give both detailed and clear instructions. I'm glad it came across that way.
Excellent tutorial. I have discovered a neat way to collect all those darn staples that are getting pulled out -- a magnetic bowl from Harbor Freight. It is so easy to put in all of the pieces of the staples and not drop them on the floor.
I want to redo my dining room chairs and it is so expensive to have it done. So I looked for a tutorial about it and yours is absolutely the best because you highlight every detail. I can follow it so easily. Thank you!
Thank you! My granfather gifted me his old dining table and 6 cushioned chairs (seats and backs!) and I was worried it would be a difficult process to fix the stained ones. This was well-explained and I feel like I have the information to tackle this project now!
Thank you! I'm a long-time home dressmaker where I appreciate quality workmanship for clothing, and you have the same standards in your really excellent upholstery tutorial with lots of attention to detail executing techniques that other upholsterers don't undertake.
Loved your indtructions - I usually get bored or confused on these videos, but yours was concise and easy to follow. I can beat your Marketplace deal - I got 6 gorgeous heavy wood chairs, double-upholstered(seat and back) for free! They were easily $150-$200 each originally. So I am going to try re-upholstering 1 and see how it looks. I called a local company and they want $150/chair, which is too costly.
Hello Paige - I have been searching for & watching tutorials on reupholstering my dining chairs. I appreciate your teaching style, speeding up the video during the monotonous stapling, and your thorough, concise instructions. Something I noticed that you, and you alone do not do - you do not pull on the fabric will all your might & squish down the edges of the foam. I was so relieved to see your method & final product. I don't want my edges squished. I very much like the piping on the bottom of your cushions. I have been debating about putting piping on the top edge, however, I am not certain my sewing machine can handle that many layers. I might give it a try with the scrap fabric pieces. Do you have any experience putting piping around the top edge? Thank you for a fabulous tutorial. I appreciate it very much. P.S. - new subscriber!
Thank you for your tutorial! It gives me hope! Question. If I need to add “actual cushion” to the chair because it’s breaking down and when we sit on it we feel the wood in the chair, what do you suggest using to make it more comfortable/cushy again? Or do you have a video showing that as well? :)
Nice chairs! Only thing is, I watched the whole thing because I am having so much trouble finding the holes where the screws go, now that I've recovered them! For the life of me, I can't find the holes! And you just quickly glossed over this part, and apparently your screws went right into the holes with no problem whatsoever! You didn't even poke holes first through the new fabric so the screws could find the hole! How do I find the holes??!!
I just aligned the seat on the chair and screwed in the screws. I didn't search for the old screw hole. If you want to find it you could use a toothpick, awl, or long floral pin to feel around for it.

So smart! Thank you for that tip.

Very good instructions. Having a pneumatic stapler is definitely easier.
Thank you! It definitely is.
Great video. I really appreciated your skill addressing little issues you might run into and how to fix them.

You can add a layer of foam with batting over it. You'll find the supplies at JoAnn.
WHAT WAY TO YOU PLACE THE STRECH OF THE MATERIAL OR WHAT GOES ON FIRST
This fabric doesn't have stretch, but if it did I would put it horizontally to the chair back.
Okay...getting worried about you! Praying you are well! 🥰
All is well. We are working on our house in our spare time and that's where my extra energy is going. Currently painting the living room. 😅
How do you measure the fabric?
Either remove the existing fabric and measure it or measure the seat and add 2-3 inches on all sides.
I wish become as professioal as you .❤
