You can get unique low-cost furniture by reupholstering used pieces yourself. However, it can be a challenge to figure out how much fabric you need based on the type and shape of your item. These charts show you how much fabric you’ll need for common chairs, sofas and stools.
Dina, writing on her blog Honey & Fitz, has put together printable collections of fabric amounts for reupholstering popular shapes of seating. (The measurements are imperial but easily converted.)
If you’re thinking about reupholstering something for the first time, make sure to do your research and know the tools you need and steps you need to follow.

In yards…. yeh so if you want to use it you have to convert… real fucking helpful
Agreed, but how difficult it is? You should know the conversions anyway. 1yd = 0.9144meters.
Go for one to one and have a bit extra. Not so hard buddy.
you buy fabric per Meter. not yard in Australia. you cant buy 9.1m you need to round up to 10m
annoying
Annoying? Maybe. Trivial? Definitely. I’m sure they would let you buy 9.1meters if you asked nicely, Hell, I’m pretty sure they will cut to size whatever you ask for or risk losing the sale.
How rude is this person. Someone goes to all the trouble to put this information up on the web, and you abuse them because the measurements are in imperial. So what, use a calculator, or just say 7 yds = 7 metres. close enough; but you will have some left over.
