OFFICE CHAIR UPCYCLE AND SHIBORI REUPHOLSTERY PART 1

I am making over my home office/ studio space. I was sitting in a chair that was not good for my back and I had to make a change. I decided to go onto craigslist and find a used office chair. I found one, but it needed to be reupholstered. This is my first reupholstery project, so buckle up for this really fun and time consuming project.
