The Cutting Table · a question, worked through

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

A new cushion can make the ottoman beside it look as if it came from another house. A few meters of the same cloth bring it home.

The quick answer

Yes, matching cushion fabric can be bought by the meter or yard: small samples and cut lengths are sold through the fabric-samples listing, and larger pieces through a custom order link. Send the fabric code and how many meters of each you need for a quote. Extra fabric can ship with your cushions. Most rolls are about 55 in (140 cm) wide.

Fabric
A quote needs the fabric code and the length.
Foam
The core: its density and thickness set the feel.
Piping
The corded seam edge: matching, contrast or none.
Only for this request: no marketing calls or texts. Outside the US, add the country code.
In inches: length × depth × thickness, plus any angles or cut corners.

“Would you sell me just the fabric?”

Yes, and gladly. Small samples and cut lengths sit on the fabric-samples listing; for anything bigger, the shop writes you a custom order link. Send two things: the fabric code, and how many meters of each. One buyer in the US took about 2.2 yd (2 m), shipped with the cushion, for a matching upholstery project.

Follow-up: “What do people use it for?”

Sewing a backrest panelExtra fabric by the length
Window valancesFabric only; valances aren't made in the workshop
Matching a velvet cushionA 55 x 20 in (140 x 50 cm) cut beside a 47 x 16 in (120 x 40 cm) cushion

Follow-up: “How big can one piece be, and are there patterns?”

As wide as the roll, and the roll decides. Most fabrics come about 55 in (140 cm) wide; some run to 79 in (2 m). Plan any single panel inside that width, then add length. If an ottoman top is wider than the roll, there will be a seam somewhere, and it is better to choose where it goes. Work it out with the fabric yardage calculator and how much fabric a cushion takes.

Beyond the stripe collections, the shop can share the supplier catalogs it sources from, so a pattern missing from the chart may still be possible. If you'd rather have covers than cloth, the zippered covers-only listing makes them to your size. Browse striped cotton and ticking and velvet. What would you cover first, my friends: the ottoman or the window?

The workshop doesn't sew valances, but it sells the cushion fabric by the meter, so the valance and the window seat still match.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Could I buy extra fabric to recover an ottoman or sew my own backrest?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Fabric is sold separately through the fabric-samples listing, for example to match an ottoman to new cushion covers or to sew your own backrest panel.

  2. A common question

    I only see small samples. Can I buy a bigger plain piece?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. The shop sets up a custom order link for a larger cut, such as a 55 x 20 in (140 x 50 cm) piece of velvet to go with a 47 x 16 in (120 x 40 cm) cushion.

  3. A common question

    Could you make valances to match the window seat?

    The workshop's answer

    Valances and window coverings aren't made, but the shop can supply the fabric so they match the bench.

  4. A common question

    Is the velvet easy to clean if I use it on an ottoman?

    The workshop's answer

    It's a 100% polyester performance velvet with good stain resistance: wipe or spot-clean spills, and machine wash covers at 86°F (30°C).

Questions buyers ask next

Can the extra fabric ship in the same order as my cushions?

Yes. Extra fabric can go out with your cushion order, as it did when one buyer took about 2.2 yd (2 m) for a matching upholstery project. Mention it when you order so the cut is quoted with the cushions.

Which neutral fabrics suit a white or cream room?

L-01 is a plain white linen, white velvet is available, and a natural linen series covers neutral shades. For an unbleached white or cream look, the 100% cotton range is the usual suggestion.

Should I order finished covers instead of fabric?

If sewing isn't the plan, yes. The zippered covers-only listing makes covers to your size in the same chart fabrics, so you get a fitted cover rather than a cut length to sew yourself.
