I have an old Art Deco armchair which the cat has pulled to bits. I'd like to re-upholster it, maybe in leather or faux leather. Is this feasible as a DIY project, as I suspect that to get it done professionally will be extortionate?
Re-upholstering furniture, especially armchairs & sofas, is a not an easy task. I would wait until you can afford to get it done professionally & perhaps in the mean time, buy a loose cover for it.
