I always say, if you're going to start a project you may as well start four!
And make sure they are very complicated.

Well I am mostly collecting the fabric for the king quilt and the one for Lilian i think i have what i need i not sure about josiah yet and I have to many scraps hanging around taking up space. I also need to re however you spell it (to tired to care) where you put new fabric on furniture to our dinning room chairs. I have that fabric taking up space.

Reupholster..... my mom was pretty good at it. I did one chair , it is okay but not something I am passionate about. Piping around the edge of the cushions is a PITA. Things like chairs in the kitchen and such are alot easier and you can make them more like a removable cushion and the cover washable.

I was debating between making like slip covers for the chair or just doing some fancy needle work with the reuplostering either the kids will destroy over time. The fabric I got for free not the pretties but way better then the stains lol. I have seven chairs to do. Also need to fix a rip in my office chair i use it for a rocking chair. I hate throwing things away. Prefer to fix or repurpose.

I'm picturing dining chairs with a covered seat, is that what you mean? The type you can unscrew from the underside and take out to recover?
I nix the fancy needlework idea. Wait until the kids are older for that one.
You can also get some heavy clear plastic to cover over the fresh fabric that will keep it clean and stain free.

I thing it might work unscrewing for the wooded back chairs we have but not these others. Here a picture of the current chairs we have. And here kinda what i was thinking. https://pin.it/4ycahqI and I have three fabrics to chose from. Not sure which i want to use yet..

 

[thistlebloom]

It looks to me like it should also be possible for the beigy chairs.
What's it look like underneath? You should be able to unscrew the seat and remove it.
