Hello Jeannie,
pop along to your Public Library and borrow a book on Rush Seating. It should give you all the information you require for materials and method etc. Not something I can really explain on here. You may also find it helpful to join a class or two on the craft. A Craft Fayre is also a good place to find someone who can help you too........Best wishes.
If repairing the rush seat is a bit too complicated, you can replace the seat with wood. I have done this to several chairs :)
Or . . . Google and You Tube have a plethora of tutorials. Here are a few to get you started!
