To calculate the yardage needed for a pillow (\(Y\)):
\[ Y = \frac{2 \times (L + W) + E}{36} \]
Where:
A Pillow Yardage refers to the amount of fabric needed to make a pillow. This measurement is typically given in yards and can vary depending on the size and style of the pillow. It includes the fabric needed for both the front and back of the pillow, as well as any additional fabric needed for features like ruffles or piping. The yardage needed can be determined by measuring the dimensions of the pillow and adding extra for seams and hems.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ Y = \frac{2 \times (20 + 20) + 4}{36} = \frac{2 \times 40 + 4}{36} = \frac{84}{36} \approx 2.33 \text{ yards} \]
The yardage needed is approximately 2.33 yards.
