Chair #1 Done!

So, I may not have been productive this past weekend, but I was very productive the weekend before and upholstered one dinning room chair. I obviously started with the easiest one first. 

The first part was taking it apart and cleaning it. I used Pledge to clean and shine it up. 

It was very easy to take apart. Flip it upside down and unscrew the 4 screws holding the seat in. Then pop out the covered seat.

I had consulted some websites and purchased a book about upholstering. Everything had suggest getting a tack remover which I purchased. Definitely, made getting all the tacks out easy. Once the tacks were off, then I pulled off all the dirty fabric and batting.

It was then time to measure new batting and I decided to add a piece of linen as well to help provide a smooth surface before I put on the good fabric. I cut the good fabric out allowing for some extra and then tacked it in place.

The last step was to reassemble the chair. Here is the finished product in the dining room.

I think it looks pretty good. Only took about an hour and now I have 3 more to go. Two more will be like this and another will be different with tacks around the bottom. All in all, I love it!
