You may find it easier to take one of the seats off the chair and take that current seat cover with you to a fabric store. The drapery fabrics are quite wide, sturdy and very often on sale. So, you can place your fabric on top of whats' there, flip it over the number of seats you need. Get about 18" x40" extra to make a table runner and voila! Easy peasy. Nicely coordinated chair seat covers and table decor to boot.
I hate that saying. LOL.

You have to measure the width and length of the seats and then add about 4" to each measuremen for folding under the seat. If the back is covered you do the same for that. Then figure the total number of inches and convert that into feet, then into yards, that will tell you how many yards of fabric you need. The amount will also depend on the width of the fabric.

If you can, take the original fabric off one chair, then you know for sure. If not, measure the dimensions, allow for about 4" all around for undertacking/stapling, then you will have a good idea. If you want to have matching table runner or table clothes, add another 2 yards. I hope this helps. PBP
How do you do the corners of the seat so that it looks best? I'm talking about reupholstering a kitchen chair. The front, back, and sides are easy, but how do you do the corners? Do you cut the material a certain way or do you just crumple it up? What's best?

It depends on if they're rounded or squared corners.
There's 2 sites you can get info from: about.com and howto.com
Turn your old chairs, or even thrift store finds, into custom dining room furniture. With some unique fabric, any chair that has a removable seat can become new again.
I am presently re-upholstering my daughter's dining room chairs. I removed the old cover and picked the stitching apart and used the old piece to make a new pattern.
How do I reupholster my dining room chairs?
Any help on reupholstering dinning chairs, would be appreciated.
