Upholstery fabric calculators

Cushions, ottomans and seats each cut differently — a box cushion needs a wraparound boxing strip, an ottoman needs four separate boxed sides, a dining seat needs a wrap-and-staple allowance instead of a seam. Pick the calculator that matches what you're actually building.

• Piped (Corded) Cushion Fabric Calculator Fabric calculator for corded/piped cushions — top, bottom and self-fabric welt strips, straight-cut, with total yardage including the cord cover.
