Fight back the old fabric and remove the soft filler, if it is worn out and wrinkled. Cut out of thick foam parts, corresponding to the shape of the backrest, seat and armrests of a chair or couch. Apply on the surface of the furniture on the perimeter all-purpose adhesive (squeeze his thin dotted line) and attach the foam, not pressing.

While the glue dries, take the cutting out the new upholstery. On the fabric of the right color, draw a square, equal in size to the seat. On each side, add 10-15 cm allowances for seams and the hem. At each of the corners make a cut, reaching to the line, which was designated the perimeter of the seat (the incision should divide the right angle of the square at 45 degrees).

All edges of the fabric fold in 1-1,5 cm and hem. Put the workpiece on the seat so that legs are held in slits at the corners. The free edge of fold under the seat and secure with a stapler.
