How to Reupholster an Armless Leisure Chair

Also known as a slipper chair or occasional chair, these decorative chairs have short legs and sit closer to the ground, making them comfortable as well as stylish. If you don’t like the fabric on your leisure chair, it’s easy to replace it with a beautiful upholstery fabric that matches your home and personal style. Our step-by-step video will walk you through the entire process of removing the original fabric, patterning, sewing and re-covering the chair in your new fabric.
