The legs are from vendor I use. I'll be offering them in my etsy shop within a month.

I just cut the waistband off, and steamed the pleats flat. Next I ironed on the fusible interfacing.

I used the old fabric top and side pieces as my pattern.  After I got the cover all stapled on, I noticed that the plaid was just a hair off. I removed all the staples and readjusted the covering.  Plaids are hard that way.

Wow ... hard to believe it was a skirt!  It looks great.  Also checked out the Etsy link and your website.  Nicely done.  I now have two chairs to reupholster.  A simple teak chair in my new sewing/craft room (when I get it organized) and now my almost vintage desk chair.  I had it done by a professional about twelve years ago and in the past month the foam in the armrests has decided to come up for air!  I have not reupholstered before and am looking forward to the challenge after reading your tutorials.  I just need to find some fabric ...

I forgot to add that I ironed fusible interfacing to the wool in order to strengthen and stablize it for upholstering.
