Fabric sold by the yard can be used in many different ways; here are a few ideas:

Unpadded fabric:

• Sheer Curtains & Drapes
• Tablecloths
• Custom pillowcases
• Laundry bags

Upholstered fabric:

• Custom covers for cushions and mattresses
• Custom-made dog blankets and pillows
• Wall paneling
• Finishing of individual furniture components
• Custom seat covers for rear seats that we don't carry in our product range, or homemade seating or sleeping areas in the camper

Fabric by the yard can be ordered in running meters. The upholstery fabric is always 158 cm wide and comes in lengths of 1, 2, or 3 meters. The non-upholstery fabric is available in the same lengths and is 150 cm wide. If you need more than 3 running meters—for example, 5 meters—you can order 1 set of 2 running meters and 1 set of 3 running meters.

Upholstered and non-upholstered fabrics by the yard are made of the same durable material on the surface.

While the unpadded Since the fabric is relatively thin and flexible and can be used for items such as curtains, tablecloths, or pillowcases, the upholstered The fabric is backed with a layer of foam approximately 3 mm thick and protected with a charmeuse (a type of fine mesh on the underside).

The padded fabric is much thicker and cozier than the unpadded version, making it perfect for upholstery or making covers.

When printing the fabric by the yard, we use the same pattern scale as for the seat covers. The pattern is printed exactly as shown in the product image above; that is, the pattern is neatly aligned and centered across the width of the fabric and then repeats as many times as needed along the length, depending on the quantity of fabric ordered.

The fabric is printed on one side!

ATTENTION: In the "Magic Forest" and "Misty Mountains" patterns, the design repeats every 1 meter, as it is a "picture" rather than a continuous pattern.

If you need more than 3 meters of fabric—for example, 5 meters—you can simply add 1 item of 2 running meters and 1 item of 3 running meters to your cart.

The reason we print a maximum of 3 running meters at a time is that minor printing errors can occasionally occur. In such cases, we will of course reprint the order, which means we don’t end up producing quite as much waste if an error occurs.

If you’d like to sew (or have someone sew) covers for backrests or seat cushions yourself—for example, because we don’t carry the pattern you need—we recommend choosing a simple pattern or solid colors where the pattern alignment at the seams isn’t quite as critical as it would be with a very linear design.

The more precise pattern pieces you have to cut from the fabric, the more scrap fabric there will be and the more fabric you’ll need. Hawaii Dream, Toucan, and Hibiscus, for example, are very straightforward patterns for homemade pillowcases.

The amount of fabric you'll need depends entirely on the size of the upholstery you're covering and the colors and patterns you choose.

As a general rule, you’ll need about 3–4 running meters of upholstery fabric for an average two-seater backrest if you choose a single color.

Our customer service team will be happy to advise you on the quantity you need.

Like nearly all of our custom products, this fabric by the meter is also made especially for you upon order.
