I'm heading off to the market on thursday to see what I can find. Unfortunately I didn't keep the calico "pattern" but I reckon there is about 6 metres in there (not counting cushion) if you wait until the weekend I can let you know exactly how much I used on my new one! Hi Phil,

Great result on the chair! I'm re-upholstering the exact same one, however I was interested to know from you how much fabric did you use on it? Many thanks, Phil Hi Martin – hope all’s well. Great result on the chair!

Are you in the UK, have you tried Whaleys? They have a range of Serge Wools that might be suitable (they will however need dying) If your chair is anything like the size of mine you might just get it done in a large washing machine. If not contact your local University or theatre they might be prepared to dye for you Whaleys Wool Serges : http://www.whaleys-bradford.ltd.uk/product_list.htm?catID=18 Best, Martin Hi Ashley,

What kind of fabric do you recommend for this project? I've been looking for a wool fabric similar to the Jacobsen chairs, however a nice wool is difficult to find.
