Sooooo, Fabric Depot did not have enough of the upholstery fabric, according to Reupholstering at Home by Peter Nesovich who recommended 5 yards for a channel-backed chair, so I ordered 5 yards from Regal Fabrics. It arrived quickly, and with a yard stick, thanks!
This is the second attempt at covering the seat. *sigh*
I pulled the first waaaay too tight, and ended up right back where I started with an uncomfortably hard seat. I have to say the squishy edge roll makes a huge difference in comfort. My sister helped me this time, and it went really fast.
I used muslin to contain the stuffing instead of burlap, because burlap makes me sneeze. I left the old burlap in there, as well as the back webbing.
