These are wicker bar stools made for outdoor use. The chair cushions are made of weather resistent fabric and the cushions are permanently attached to the bottom of the chair.
I would like to recover this outdoor fabric with indoor fabric to match my kitchen decor. I need ideas on how this can be done without ability of removing the cushions.

since the cushions are permanant and cannot be removed, the only thing that I can think of is to make slipcovers that can be removed and washed for them or to cover them and staple the new material over the old.

Personally I would do the slipcovers so that I could pull them off to wash easier.

measure your material so that you have an extra two inches around the edge and sew in elastic so that they will gather over the old cushions…

or…wrap them and turn the stool upside down and use a staple gun to attach the new covering to the bottom.

    You can by stapling the fabric to the sides, and then adding a corded trim with glue gun. Make sure to go over the corded trim glued with a needle and matching thread so it does not come undone and stays stable and strong.
