How Do You Buy Fabric For Pillows?
Buying fabric for pillows is fairly simple, but is a rather hands-on process. You will often have greater satisfaction with pillows when the fabric was purchased in person rather than through an online store (unless you buy the exact fabric you chose in the store) because you get the chance to see and feel the fabric before buying and using it. Step 1 Determine what size and shape your pillows are going to be, and add 2 inches to each seam. For example, if you want a 12-inch square pillow then you will need two 14-inch squares of fabric to make the pillow. Step 2 Calculate how many yards of fabric you will need according to the sizes you determined in Step 1, keeping in mind that most fabric is sold on bolts that are either 45 inches or 60 inches wide. So, if you want to make two 12-inch square pillows, you only need 1 yard of fabric because the 14-inch squares lying side by side measure 28 inches. The fabric is folded and so you can cut two squares at one time rather than four separat
