Surely SOMEone knows how many yards it takes to redo a Clip.... or parts thereof. Please, oh PLEASE lemme know... before Walmart sells the stuff I like.

Title: upholstery yardage
Post by: tomfridley on August 19, 2005, 05:31:16 PM

we re-upholstered two swivel captain's chairs in the back and all the bench seats at the table, and used about 4 yards.
we bought 11 yards not knowing the answer at the time.
seemed safer to over-buy than run out and not be able to purchase more of the same pattern.

Dolphins/Steelers game was late starting on account of storms in Pittsburg so I went to Walmart... guess what? They'd gotten a whole bolt of the fabric I want in, in a regular shipment. Bought 8 yards... enough to do the upholstery part as you guys suggested.... and should have enough extra for the curtains.

Now, I just have to learn to sew.... heeeeeeeeee

Thanks again for the help guys!!!
