I have one in my sewing room and it was looking a bit tired. The original cloth is stained and looks quite hideous. I have one of these chairs sitting in the hall and I want to cover it in a nice mushroom velvet to co-ordinate with what we are doing in that part of the house. So I thought I would give re-covering a go!
The base came off quite easily with my hubby's power tool ...
I put another layer of wadding over the top of the existing fabric and stretched the fabric over the base. Using my staple gun I attached the side of the selvage first and then the bottom side, and then each side. Probably not the most hard wearing fabric, but I love it!
*giggles*
The base gets re-attached to the chair and voila!
Not too bad for a quick crafty fix!

So much better, and my fave fabric too! Ume would be proud..ha ha
I hope to recover lots of chairs in clashing fabrics when we buy a house!
Did you do anything special with the corners of the fabric or just tuck them under neatly?
What a difference new material makes. So easy to colour co-ordinate all over the house too. Just great. Cherrie
Not bad at all, well done, now for the rest of the chairs :)
