Anyone done any upholstery?

[flybynight]

I got an upholstery book for christmas, I haver a gorgeous little rocking nursing chair in need of some tlc and I'm off to Hobbycraft today to get the bits and bobs I need.

So, what are the odds of me managing to recover the chair (no buttons or anything) without recourse to a professional? Anyone else tried something like this?

I've posted this in the wrong place. Ill try arts and crafts as well!

I've recovered a chair (very) succesfully. I also re-upholstered a show wood chair slightly unsuccessfully as i didn't have a webbing strietcher and consequently it has begun to sag. Apart from that I have done a great job with it.

I have a couple more chairs to do but I have some painting to do and some curtains to make first.

I just used a book and took planty of photos as i dismantled the existing coverings.
