Barrel chair with cushion…any suggestions? I need help and ideas for my apartment!

Measuring a Yard of Fabric The material is unrolled from the bolt, and you should measure 36 inches or 3 feet. That's precisely how much a yard of fabric is.
The bolt is the part that holds the material together, and no matter how wide the fabric is, the yard is 36 inches measured off the selvage edge. If your chair is larger than average, measure the width the same way as you would measure the length at its widest point. If you have more than one chair that you are reupholstering, multiply the number of chairs by 0. This will give you the total amount of yardage you will need for your chairs. Fabric Requirement Generalization Most dining room chairs can be covered using a piece of fabric 27 x 27 inches; therefore, plan to use a piece of fabric 27 inches long by 54 inches wide, or about three-quarters of a yard for two chair seats , which does not allow for pattern placement matching but is a general rule.
Three yards of fabric will be enough for eight chair seats. If the repeat is large or a pattern has to be centered, you may need more. A wing chair will require yards, a traditional chair with upholstered seat and back 3 yards and a club chair yards. If you hate measuring, use this rule of thumb: A wing chair will typically take around five to seven yards of fabric.
