To make a pattern for a specific chair back or arm, use a piece of cardboard large enough to trace the entire part of the chair needed. Secure the cardboard so that it won't move when you trace. Trace with a pointed marker.
Once the tracing has been made, cut around the traced lines on the cardboard with a seam allowance (approx. 1/2 inch from the traced line). Most sewing machines have a ruler that you can guide the edge of the fabric 1/2 inch from the needle.
Or, you can cut the cardboard on the traced line and cut the fabric with a seam allowance, if you trace the cardboard pattern onto the fabric before removing the pattern.
If you don't have large pieces of cardboard, poster board can be used. Poster board is usually available at stationery or craft stores.

How much fabric is required to upholster a wing back recliner?
My quasi-educated guess would be around 7 yards. Depending on the size and style of the chair, it could be as low as 6 yards or as high as 8 yards. If the fabric has a repeating pattern or the chair has a skirt you may need as much as 11 yards. Take digital pictures of the chair from the front, back and side and measure it height, width and depth. Take the pictures with you when you are looking for upholstery fabric and ask for assistance with the yardage.
