Bring a photo and rough measurements — yardage estimates and price quotes both depend on the piece, its arms and whether the pattern has to match.

Upholstery fabric is not apparel fabric. Look at the double-rub rating: 15,000+ suits everyday seating, 30,000+ handles heavy use. A pretty quilting cotton on a sofa will pill and split within a season no matter how well it is sewn.

Good to know

How much fabric do I need to reupholster a chair?
A dining chair seat usually takes about 1 yard, an armchair 5-7 yards, and a standard three-seat sofa 12-16 yards. Add 20-30% when the fabric has a repeating pattern that must line up across cushions.

Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture?
Reupholstery makes sense when the frame is solid hardwood and joined well — that is what you cannot buy cheaply today. For a flat-pack sofa with a stapled frame, new is usually cheaper than the labour and fabric.
