Question

You are making a cover for the rectangular sofa cushion. How much fabric do you need to cover the entire cushion?

5 in.
48 in.
20 in.

Answer 1

Measure the height of the cushion if you are covering a box cushion. Multiply the width of the cushion by two and the depth of the cushion by two, and add those numbers together to figure out how much fabric you will need to make the sides, front and back of the box cushion. Add 2 inches for seam allowances.
