Use a screwdriver to disassemble the chair and then remove the parts piece by piece.

Continue to take the pieces and set them aside until you reach the fabric that needs to be stitched.

Set aside all the components of the chair, sort them out in small groups and prepare for stitching.

Use a pair of scissors to cut a piece of cloth.

Note: we recommend using a piece of cloth that matches the material of the torn fabric. In this example, we used a non-stretch fabric that had a similar texture and feel to the original.

Place the cloth underneath the tear and get ready for the next step.

Use sewing pins to fix the piece of cloth in place. Put the pins around the tear, forming a "square" shape (green lines).
