fabric estimator

This chart should give you an idea of how much fabric you’ll need for a particular chair. Keep in mind that these are estimated guidelines, not rules. The fabric’s pattern, the upholsterer’s work style, and variations in individual pieces of furniture can all influence the yardage. These estimates are based on 54-inch-wide fabric with a short repeat.

ARM Chair 1½ yards	Barrel Chair 4 yards
SLIPPER CHAIR 6 yards	OTTOMAN 2½ yards
