Can I buy extra fabric by the meter to match my cushions?

Also asked as:Do you sell the fabric on its own?Can I upholster chairs to match the banquette?

A banquette whose chairs match looks like it was planned from the first sketch. The good news: the cloth on your cushions can be bought by the length.

The quick answer

Extra fabric can be bought by the meter to match your cushions: tell the shop how many meters you need, for example of linen L-07 to upholster matching chairs. The fabrics run up to 55 in (140 cm) wide. For a matching throw, sew the cloth onto a blanket or backing, because upholstery fabric is thin on its own.

Your fabric-by-the-meter message

  • The fabric code from your cushion order, such as linen L-07.
  • How many meters you need. A meter is about 39.4 in (1.1 yd), so convert your yardage before you ask.
  • What the cloth is for: chair seats, a headboard, a throw.
  • The width you're planning around: the widest fabric is 55 in (140 cm).
  • For a throw, the blanket or backing you'll sew it onto.

Chairs that match the banquette

A buyer wrote in wanting to re-cover the dining chairs in the same linen L-07 as the new banquette cushions. The answer was yes: say how many meters, and the length is sent.

Pull up a chair and measure its seat before you do the math, neighbor. The fabric yardage Pattern shows how much a seat really eats, and the fabric yardage calculator does the arithmetic. How many chairs are waiting at your table?

Why the throw needs a backing

Another buyer asked for extra cloth to sew a throw that matched the cushions. The shop said yes, then gave the honest warning: upholstery fabric is thin on its own.

So it goes onto a blanket or a backing first. On a couch arm it then drapes like a throw instead of sliding off like a tablecloth.

Where by-the-meter cloth goes wrong

  • Using it alone as a throw: it's thin without a backing.
  • Planning a single panel wider than 55 in (140 cm): there's no wider fabric.
  • Ordering in yards and forgetting the length is cut in meters.
  • Leaving off the fabric code, so the match is left to guesswork; the dye lot entry explains why codes matter.

Upholstery fabric bought for a matching throw is thin on its own, so sew the length onto a blanket or backing before it goes on the couch.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Can I buy your fabric by the meter to upholster chairs that match?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. The shop can supply fabric such as linen L-07 by the meter; just say how many meters you need.

  2. A common question

    Could you send extra fabric so I can make a matching throw?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes, a length of the same cloth can be sent. The shop noted it's thin, so it's best sewn onto a blanket or backing.

  3. A common question

    Can I see real customer photos or a video before I buy?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Ask in messages and the shop sends real customer photos, videos and reels, including someone sitting on the sofa for scale and close-ups of the details, or links to similar finished cushions.

  4. A common question

    Are your fabrics OEKO-TEX certified?

    The workshop's answer

    The fabrics come from a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239), and the certificate is shared on request.

Questions buyers ask next

How do I convert yards to meters for a fabric order?

One yard is about 0.91 m, and one meter is about 39.4 in. Work out your yardage, multiply by 0.91 for meters and round up, then send the meter figure together with the fabric code.

How wide is the fabric sold by the meter?

Up to 55 in (140 cm). Plan chair seats, cushion panels or a throw around that width; anything wider has to be pieced together with a seam.

Which fabrics can be bought by the meter?

The shop supplies extra lengths of its own cushion fabrics, linen L-07 being one that buyers have ordered for chairs. Name the fabric code from your cushion order so the length matches.
