Hi Rhonda! It really depends on the type of chairs that you're looking to reupholster. In my experience most dining room chairs that have fabric covered seats are pretty easy to do. Most of them you can simply remove the seat (generally via screws in the bottom or sides) and then staple your fabric right over top of the old fabric.

HI Rhonda, Here is a tutorial I wrote on how to recover them. Hope it helps... https://www.recreateddesigns.com/2017/03/easily-recover-chairs-seats/

Here's a video from one of our Hometalkers:

I don't have a video link for you but I think it's wonderful that you have this attitude about the task and the reason for it. There is a really good product, Camp Dry, you might consider to help waterproof your material. In my opinion, it's much better than scotchguard. Just in case the plastic tears or some other mishap, it may save your new material.

You could also buy some heavy duty clear vinyl to upholster over your fabric to simply water-proof it for now.. https://www.amazon.com/Plastex-Fabrics-Gauge-Clear-Vinyl/dp/B00OZ4ORCY/ref=sr_1_22?dchild=1&keywords=upholstery+clear+vinyl+protection+by+the+yard&qid=1607561898&sr=8-22

Or buy some pre-made ones.... https://www.amazon.com/Homemaxs-Protector-Waterproof-Dining-Removable/dp/B06X3VRKS4/ref=sr_1_36?dchild=1&keywords=upholstery+clear+vinyl&qid=1607561717&sr=8-36

or buy some of new great vinyl fabrics .... https://www.fabric.com/find?searchText=vinyl+upholstry+fabric I love the gator or ostrich patterns. Tip if you have a curved corner, use a hair dryer to smooth it around the edge, and then staple.
