I just got this vintage chair off Freecycle. Its upholstery is pretty threadbare, but I really like the lines of it, so I'm trying to reupholster it. The problem is, I can't find reupholstery tutorials online that match the type of chair I have.
The fabric that you see under the arms and on the back of the chair isn't stuffed, and there's no wood there. So if you can imagine it, there's just the frame outline, with stapled-in fabric. I've found chairs that have upholstered backs, but this isn't the case for this kind. I've searched and searched... any insights you could offer would be much appreciated, as this is my first time reupholstering and I want to do it right.
