1 1/4 yards would be enough to cut 2 18" X 40" pieces either crosswise or lengthwise, with about 2" for hems or rod pockets, If you need wider hems, then go for 1 1/2 yards.
yes yes...as long as you buy the fabric
One yard of fabric is 36" long, and varies in width. If you have 45" wide fabric, you need 22" of fabric (less than one yard). The fabric store can help you with that.
Depends on how wide the bolt of fabric is. A "yard" of fabric will always be three feet long, but it may be varyingly wide.
long
polyester is called wash and wear fabric because it dries very quickly after washing. it is also wrinkle free and very long lasting.
a long time
No. Silk is extremely fragile as a fabric.
Hold each fabric over a candle flame and time how long it takes for the fabric to start to burn~Apex
yes but they had to make it out of fibers and other stuff and it took a very long time to make fabric
It is simply the length of the fabric so 1 [linear] yard.
A valance is a short, decorative curtain piece hung along the top of a window's curtain rod to add a touch of style and flair. Even without sewing, you can design and create a customized window valance for any one of the windows in your home with these easy steps. Carefully determine measurements for the project. No design project is ever successful without careful planning and measurement. Measure the width of your window. Write this measurement down for future reference. Then decide on the length of your valance. Ideally, it should be more than 15 inches long (starting at the curtain rod), but it can be made to be longer if you desire, especially if your window is very wide. A wide window will look best with a slightly longer valance. If you desire a gathered look, multiply the window width by 2.5. If you are using a particularly sheer fabric, multiply the window width by 3 to 4. For a valance that hangs straight down from the curtain rod without any gathering, simply measure the fabric to precisely match the width of the drapes to be hung from the window. Add 2 inches of width to each valance panel you measure. This will provide adequate room for hems. Cut along the lines you have determined with your measurements. Then measure the length you have determined onto the fabric and double this measurement, as your valance will be made by folding the fabric in half toward the end of the process. Add 2 inches here as well and cut. Turn the entire piece of fabric over so all hems face down. Pick up the bottom of the fabric and fold it up to the top so that all edges meet. Use iron-on tape or a glue gun to create 1-inch hems along each side of the valance. Do the same for the other hems. After creating your hems, allow them to completely cool and dry. Turn the fabric right-side out so that all hems are left facing inside. Measure the width of your curtain rod (usually about 1.5 to 2.5 inches) and create a pocket hem for the rod to slide through. You can use the iron-on tape or glue gun for this as well. Slide in the rod and hang.
