Thanks for any ideas

q how can i re cover these chairs in an easy way if possible

The seams are all sewn and I'm afraid I won't get the right arcs. Does anyone know what's under the fabric? I was thinking of winding twill around the arms.

  Many thanks Linda. I have upholstered before, but never sewn the exact shape of the frame. It's going to be a challenge.
