Watch the video below now.
Strip the seat down to the wooden frame if youre adding a new foam.
Next, attach a piece of cambric by stapling it down below the foam so it doesnt sag.
After this, trace the frame on the foam and trace it around it.
Cut the foam out with a serrated knife.
Place the foam and frame face down on the dacron padding.
Cut the padding so it wraps onto the bottom about 2 inches all around.
Staple the padding in the middle of all 4 sides to hold it in place.
Work your way out from the center staple, leaving a little space at the corners.
Repeat on the other sides, pulling the padding-top as you go.
Repeat this for the rest of the corners.
Trim off all the excess padding.
Next, lay the upholstery fabric out, right side down.
Place the cushion, face down, on top of it.
Cut the fabric so theres an extra 3 4 to wrap around the back.
Staple it down in the middle of all 4 sides.
Leave a few inches at the corners.
For the corners, pull the center of the corner towards the middle and staple.
Repeat the corners to all corners.
Trim off all the excess fabric.
Finally, attach the cambric dust cover.
Cut the cambric to the same size as the frame, fold under the edges, and staple.
The cushion is now finished and all you have to do is re-attach it to the chair.
