How many yards of fabric do you need to make curtains for a 33 inches x 63.5 inches?
It depends on a lot of information that you haven't provided. So, I will make some assumptions and you can see how I calculate it and make any changes you need if my assumptions are wrong. Assumptions: 1)Your window is 33 inches wide by 63.5 inches tall? 2)The width of your fabric is too short to go the long way on your curtains. 3) If you position the fabric with the yardage you buy going up and down (vertically), the pattern on the fabric will be upright. 3)You want to make your curtains, so when they open the entire window is exposed. That means that you must place your curtain rod a good 6 inches beyond either edge of your window trim. 4) When you make your curtains, you want to gather the top in folds. This means you need 1 1/2 times the actual width of the curtain rod. So... you need 33 inches plus 6 inches plus 6 inches (for the sides) = 45 inches total width after you gather the tops in folds & a small 1" hem on each side. And ... you need 1 1/2 times that or 66.5 inches across the top for both curtains or 33.25 inches across the top for one curtain (2 per window ... they open in the middle, right?) You should add 2 more inches for a small hem on each side of the curtain, so 35.25 So... we will also assume that the width of the fabric you are buying is wide enough for one curtain the short way on the window. Therefore, we will need to buy yardage for the long length of the window plus a bit to go below the window plus for hems at the top and bottom times 2. So... yardage to buy 63.5 + 10 inches for a double fold (5") at the top + 3" hem at the bottom + 4" extra for the curtain to go below the window = 70.5 inches And you need two curtains for a window so, times 2 = 141 inches or about 12 feet or 4 yards. ANSWER: 4 yards

How much fabric is need to upholster 6 25 x 25 dining room chair seats?
That depends upon how thick the cushions are. I'll take a guess that you need about 5 1/2 inches on each side to go down the sides of the cushions and still have enough fabric left to tuck in so that it will hold. That means that you will need a piece of fabric 36"x36" for each of the six seats. If you go with 72" wide fabric, then you will need 3 yards.
