2. Unit: Choose whether you’re measuring in Imperial (inches) or Metric (centimeters) units.
3. Seat Width & Depth: Measure the width and depth of one seat. Include the dimensions of the entire seat area.
4. Back Width & Depth: Measure the width and depth of the back of one section of your sofa.
5. Arm Width & Height: Measure the width and height of one of the sofa arms.
6. Pattern Repeat Size (if any): If your fabric has a repeating pattern, enter the size of one repeat.
7. Waste Allowance: Enter the percentage of waste allowance to account for cutting and fitting the fabric.
8. Seam and Hem Allowance: Enter the additional allowance for seams and hems.
9. Are there cushions?: Select ‘Yes’ if there are cushions and the fabric for cushions is included in the calculation.

After entering all the necessary information, click the “Calculate” button to get the estimated total fabric needed. The result will be displayed in square feet/square inches or square meters/square centimeters based on your unit selection.

Assumptions:

• It is assumed that the entire seat, back, and arms will be upholstered with the same fabric.
• The entered seat, back, and arm dimensions should cover the entire area being upholstered, and it is assumed that these measurements are accurate and include all parts of the furniture that will be covered with fabric.
• For the pattern repeat size, it is assumed that the pattern repeats both vertically and horizontally, and the entered size is the size of one complete repeat.
• Waste allowance is considered to avoid any shortage of fabric, and a default of 10% is set.
• A default seam and hem allowance of 2 inches/centimeters is set, and it is assumed to be enough for most upholstery projects.
• If ‘Yes’ is selected for cushions, it is assumed that fabric for one cushion per section will be the same as the fabric required for one seat.

Keep these assumptions in mind while using the calculator for the most accurate results. Adjust your measurements and allowances accordingly to ensure sufficient fabric for your upholstery project!
