<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Use an Upholstery Guide
Many fabric stores carry guides that can help you estimate the yardage required to cover a wingback chair. Carefully measure the dimensions of the chair, and use the fabric store's yardage estimator (or one online) to determine how much you need.
On the Other: Err on the Side of Caution
Even if you use a yardage estimator, err on the side of caution and buy more than you need. The fabric you choose may be unavailable later if you wind up needing more than you thought, possibly because you made a mistake when cutting or sewing the fabric.
Bottom Line
Measure the chair you want to cover and use a yardage estimator, but err on the side of caution and buy more. Leftover fabric can always be used for a pillow.
