Fabrics come in various widths, so a fabric by the yard is referred to the length of the material only. The material is unrolled from the bolt, and you should measure 36 inches or 3 feet. Thats precisely how much a fabric by the yard is. The bolt is the part that holds the material together, and no matter how wide the fabric is, the yard is 36 inches measured off the selvage edge. If you have a model that you wish to follow, sometimes youll have to convert from yards to the metric system.
