Yard Of Fabric Explained - Illustrated Tutorial

"How big is a yard of fabric really? How many inches are in a yard? How many feet of fabric I will get? A person used to having fabric measured in meters may want to know how much area a yard covers compared to a meter. If they are working from a US pattern or needing to buy a certain amount of fabric for a project in the US, this is where the question often comes in as to the actual size of a yard of fabric. A yard, is 3 feet or 36 inches and is equal to .9144 meters, or 91 cm, but that doesn’t mean it’s a square yard of fabric because it all depends on the width of the fabric."
