First Ever Attempt at Reupholstering

Stripes to Chevrons






Before

Bought this wing back armchair at a thrift shop for $5. It is in really good condition aside from a tear on the wing and a tatty armrest. 
Tears

Although I do love the striking green stripe fabric the tear cannot be repaired so I decided to attempt reupholstering it. Help!!




I bought 7yds of this funky brown Italian chevron fabric from Hobby Lobby. Even though I took many pictures every time I removed the fabric. I decided to proceed by removing one area at a time  to prevent me from getting confused on how to fit it back together. 


It took me 3 weeks to finish (this is my first attempt ever, lol) and although it wasn't easy to master I think I did a pretty good job for a first timer and I LOVE IT!!@
