Rosie - Thanks! Purchase and upkeep of cars can drain the bank pretty fast. Four acres of wooded trees!...now that sounds wonderful! I would love to have a place with that much land & trees. I don't know what upholstery shops charge these days. I know that I could not ever do upholstery as a profession. I work way too slow. Also, I'm able to forgive myself if some part of my work is not perfect. If I did it for someone else, I'd stress about every little imperfection. The fabric cost alone is all that I'm willing to invest in my old furniture. None of my furniture is high end. The only piece that is really well made is my grandma's chair (the goose neck arm chair) which I will begin working on in about a week. I once kept track of how many total hours I spent on one of my sofas...68 hours (over a 2 month span). Knowing all the work I've put in to these pieces, I would not complain about the high prices the pros charge.

Rungs maybe? Try "ladder back".

Are you okay with skirts? Almost have to be skirted for non-custom non-stretch. Try something like https://www.surefit.com/collections/slipcovers/products/cotton-duck-one-piece-chair-slipcover (or one of their other models). I have a wingback with lots of curves and the standard skirted type works fine. You tuck the front of the back (did I just type that?) into the seat and it just kinda works.
