Hi Paula,
My name is Linda. There are a lot of Hometalk members who have painted fabric chairs. Rather than just choose one for you, I'm putting in the link to the entire page that I found with Hometalk's search feature. (upper left "Find your next project".) To see the tutorial for each one, just click on the picture. Wishing you the best.

Hi Paula! I can tell you how to paint fabric on a chair with Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint! :)
It is super easy to paint with Dixie Belle:
Step one: Mist the fabric to allow it to accept the paint
Step two: Paint one coat of Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint
Step three: Allow to dry and sand with a sanding sponge
Step four: Paint a second coat if you'd like, followed by sanding
Step five: Apply Easy Peasy Spray Wax if you'd like a little more protection if it will be used a lot
Here is a great blog tutorial showing all the steps https://dixiebellepaint.com/blog/dixiebellepaint/how-to-paint-fabric-on-a-chair-do-dodson-designs/
