means i needed each rectangle piece of fabric to be 19 1/2" x 9 1/2". i took my yard of fabric & ironed it into quarters. then i followed along the crease & cut with scissors. (before you do this, measure & make sure you are cutting enough fabric to complete your chair covers.) now i had 4 equal rectangles. they were still a little big, so that's where i cut off the extra strips of fabric. which meant i had 4 equal pieces of fabric scraps to play with later on in this project.
iron over 1/4" along both bottom edges. (those would be the long edges.) then, fold over
