Thank you all for your suggestions!  I really appreciate it.  I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Hi all,

When I say "from a newbie," I mean that as both a newbie to this forum as well as to the world of upholstery.  It's always something I've wanted to learn how to do and my cousin offered me a chair that she no longer wanted.  Since my best friend has been looking for a chair like this for her living room, it was a win, win, win. 

My friend wanted the tufting to be eliminated though, and I figured it wouldn't be a problem.  Yet as I studied the chair a little more, I realized that it might be a bit of a challenge.  The fabric on the inner back, inner arms, and seat was all one piece of fabric, attached to the webbing of the back and seat by the tufting.  So my question is this: does anyone have an suggestions on a way to approach the reupholstery of this chair, sans tufting?  My initial thought is that I will need to make a separate seat cushion but I'm curious to hear what more experienced folks may suggest.

Thanks in advance!
