Please post a picture of your chair so we can see what you have to work with.
If the inside foam/stuffing is still in good shape, then it may require only recovering, not the bigger job of reupholstering.
Here's a post that might help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCcr8MYYBHo
Hi there,
Is it the type that has a drop in seat, or is it fully upholstered - a picture or two would help a lot.
Hi Sonia, I'm not sure what type of chair you're planning to upholster, but here's video of a person doing one. Perhaps it will help you.

Here is a little ditty with some measurement on it for your fabrics
All About Fabric!
As a general rule, using 54" wide fabric, 3/4 yard will work for 2 chairs. Three-quarters yards will give you two pieces that are 27" x 27". If you have four chairs, you will need 1.5 yards, six chairs takes 2.25 yards, eight chair seats take 3 yards, and so on.
I agree with Deb. But use a 40% off coupon and get the fabric at either Hobby Lobby or JoAnns. Fabric. Make sure you get a nice heavy fabric. If it is not treated go to a sporting goods store and buy camp dry. It will prevent stains.
