    I know just how you feel. Can you give us pictures of the chairs? That would be a great way to start the creativity flowing. sk

    If just the seats, remove by taking out the screws that hold them in underneath. Strip off the old fabric but save one piece for a pattern when you cut the new fabric. I would use actual upholstery fabric or leather. Then reattach by putting the screws back in. Choose a colour, pattern that pleases you and fits in with the other colours in your room.

    It sounds like your fabric is still in good condition. That being the case, repurposed jeans cloth would make a unique cover and would wear like iron. Cut out a piece the shape of the top. Cut a piece for a band around the exterior edge and sew it on with a welt cord for a professional finish. The excess fabric can be pulled under and stapled or tacked. A thin piece of polyfoam on top of the old seat might give a plush look and hide any dimples.
