Best Answer

The 58/60 indicates the width in inches. Some fabrics are 44/45", also. These are the two most common widths you'll come across. The length of the fabric depends on how much you need/buy. If you use a pattern, the pattern will instruct you on how much (length) fabric to purchase depending on the width of fabric you choose.
