I did this a while back but I forgot to upload photos. I updated our chairs with some nice fabric I had.

They really needed to be recovered! |

You will need: a little cat, just in case there is not enough cat hair on the fabric you wish to use. I happened to have this fabric because I had bought it for curtains but didn't realize at the time that the packet only contained one panel. |

You will also need upholstery tacks. Don't do what I did and think you can get away with using normal office thumbtacks! The ratio of successful thumb-tack entry into chair is about 20 to 1! |

You will also need scissors and a hammer. Basically I just kind of did it - one tip is to folder over the edge of the fabric so it does't look scissored. |

Thumbtacks - you will be sick of these by the end! |

Perfect for a first time upholstery! Much better. Now repeat for all chairs - somewhat thankfully I remembered we only have 3 chairs Ha haha! |
