I reupholstered this last summer, learning out of books. The chair was out of a set my grandmother got from a closing hotel a long, long time ago, and the seat was so ripped up you could see the springs. I stripped it down except for the springs (which needed retying) and put this pink stripey stuff on it. It has a few awkward moments (there's a pinch in the fabric at one point, and the double-welting falls a little flat), but mostly I was happy with how it came out.
