If you are using your old seat covers as a template, which is usually the case, make sure that you add two inches all around to compensate for the shrinkage that occurred to the old fabric. And you'll need to allow a little more for the welting as mentioned about 1 1/2 inches folded over either a fiber cord or in later cars, a piece of nylon that looks like extra heavy fishing line. The fabric is 62 inches wide in most cases.
