Leather Yardage Estimator
The following figures represent the approximate yards of 54" material and square footage of leather based upon 1 YD = 18 Sq. Ft. needed to upholster the type of furniture shown.
With small hides, cutting pieces should be specified to obtain square footage. As a rule of thumb, when ordering custom sofas, order approximately 2 1/2 YDS=45 S.F. per liner foot.
1 YD = 36"x54" = 1944 Sq. In. / 144 Sq. In. (12"x12") = 13.5 Sq. Ft - Order 18 Sq. Ft. - Diff = Loss Factor.
