I just bought a chair at a thrift store and I thought I would take on a crafty project and reupholster it. The problem is that I have never done it and I don’t know how to. I keep searching on google but I keep coming up with dining chairs, which I could probably do but this is not a dining chair. I thought it was called a Victorian High Back Chair, but apparently it is not. Please help me!
If anyone could find the correct form of the chair and maybe a step by step website I can print out info on how to reupholster it, that would be awesome!
Here is a link to the pic of the chair:

It is a wing back, and is also one of the most difficult to re-cover.
If you want to try, go to the library and get a book on upholstery. You will NOT have patterns, but you will get complete directions. If you can read and comprehend directions, and have intermediate sewing skills, it’s doable.
