Well, it's basically the same to reupholster different pieces, but some will be easier or harder than others depending on the style. I suggest you get a good book or two, as it would be too involved for anyone to give you a step by step thru a post.

This is a good one:
SINGER UPHOLSTERY BASICS (http://www.amazon.com/Singer-Upholstery-Basics-Step-Step/dp/1589233298/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217619754&sr=1-3)

There's other good books also and try the Library, too.
