ReUpholstering Chairs! ~tutorial

So here’s the deal, I’m re-upholstering a pair of chairs in this post. See, I bought the pair of chairs at an estate sale for $40 bucks, measured and bought clearance fabric, then took a bunch of photos while my husband re-upholstered them for me! Voila! I re-upholstered chairs, right? Seriously, though, the full tutorial with dozens of photos, step by step instructions, and more is on my blog post! (On my blog's sidebar, you'll find a handy link to my Hometalk account, too!)
This is the FINISHED pair of chairs. The "after."
Here is the "before" and first stages of demo.
Here, we're working with "channels," the seat back of multiple fabrics, making a template, tracing, cutting, sewing. (Many more photos on blog link that show every step.)
A before/after shot!
