It depends on the width of the fabric. Also, if the fabric is patterned and you want to (or need to) match the patterns, the repeat length.

How big is 3 yards of fabric?

9 feet of fabric


How many yards of fabric would you need to cover an 8 feet by 8 feet?

You will need 7.1 square yards of fabric.


How many yards of fabric is 15 feet by 15 feet?

15 ft = 5 yards 5 yards* 5 yards = 25 square yards


How yards of fabric in 7'6?

To start things off, we need to know that 1 yard= 3 feet, and 1 foot= 12 inches. The fabric is 7 feet and 6 inches. We need to convert the inches into feet, and we do so by doing 6 divided by the conversion factor 6/12= 0.5 feet. 7 feet+0.5 feet=7.5 feet So now we know that we have 7.5 feet of fabric. Once again, we need to convert from feet into yards. We do this by using another conversion factor (1 yard= 3 feet) 7.5 feet/3= 2.5 yards of fabric


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
