I will be starting to upholster my dining room chairs. The only other time I have done this was on my mom's dining room chairs, but her's only have upholstery on the seat. Mine are on the seat and backrest, both front and back. I wanted to include a photo of the chairs, but it keeps crashing. So I will put the photos in the next post.

The chairs have an indentation on the back, and the current upholstery has a seam there. Plus the chairs have welting all the way around. I will probably not redo the welting because it gives the chairs a more formal look, and we use the set in a more casual setting. But I will have to see what they look like without the welting before I decide not to do it.

I was going to wait until we moved to TV before doing this project, but the fabric that I had picked out for the chairs was being discontinued. I am including a picture of the fabrics that I had picked out for our new dining room. The gold fabric is for the chairs. It's a little bit sturdier fabric than the others, though it doesn't show up in the photo very well.

I would appreciate any input from anyone who has done upholstery projects like this one. Any hints would be great.
