Hi, my friend bought 6 Edwardian dining room chairs that are in dire need of re-upholstery. Unfortunately, at the moment he doesn't want to spend a fortune getting someone to do up the chairs so instead he has decided that he would like to tackle the project himself.

The problem is he has never done any upholstering before and know absolutely nothing about the subject. Are there any good websites/books for beginners? The chair seats were originally done with coil springs, hair, etc....so he will want to replace with similar materials.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
