The seat and inside back are tufted with many covered buttons. Brass tacks outline the front arms. Could I not put the buttons back in? I have 2 of these queen Ann style chairs and love them.

However, the rest of the chair only requires a lot of pulling the fabric tight and stapling it into place. It's definitely not a beginner upholstery project due to the curves of the wingbacks and arm rests. Perhaps you can find a simple dining room chair at a thrift store and reupholster it for practice before attempting a wingback chair (you know the dinning room chairs that are upholstered on the back and seat?).

Remember to cut to allow a lot of extra give... tack each piece temporarily to your chair and trim around. Then remove, and use as your pattern. Also, I would draw arrows on your muslin pattern pieces, in order to help you when cutting your upholstery fabric (this is important if your upholstery print has a directional pattern).

However, before it got to me, she tried to recover it herself, and failed badly (It's now lumpy and quite misshapen). So...I have NO pattern pieces to use, and it's not really a traditional-shaped chair. I have reupholstered before, but always with the old upholstery to guide me. Any ideas or tips for me?
