Yardage needed for armchair cover of style
Information to calculate the yardage of fabric needed for armchair:
Start by measuring the chair by taking the maximum dimensions of height, width and depth including wood (about 8 cm on each side i.e. a total of 16 cm in addition to your ribs) in order to be able to stretch it without difficulty, write them down on paper.
Trace a square or rectangle on the paper and affix it to the part of the chair it is supposed to cover.
Remember to maintain the straight grain of the fabric.
