asked • 10/23/20Jasmine plans to sew fringe around a circular pillow with a radius of 5 inches. How much fringe does she need to purchase?
If Jasmine needs to order fabric material to make the pillow cover. If she needs an additional inch of fabric to allow for seams and she wants to cover both sides of the pillow, how much material will she need?

Hello, Noah,
I may be reading this wrong, so look at my answer with some suspicion. The diameter of the pillow is 10 inches Add an additional 2 inches for the seam and we have 12 inches. Since fabric is purchased in rectangle sections, we can calculate the area of a square of 12 inches each side. This is 122, or 144 in2. Both sides would be 288 in2. If ft2 is the preferred measure, that is 1 ft2.
I may be wrong, but I hope it helps,
Bob

Hi Bob, I had these concerns as well; Sounds like the surface area of a sphere or a cylinder depending on the shape of the circular pillow. It could be a ball if it is just for decoration. Also in one part it says a fringe is needed in another it says both a fringe and pillow cover is it that both are needed?

Yes, it was confusing to me. They say fringe but then follow that up with cover. Are they made from the same material? Bad question. Good luck.
