Can someone please tell me how much of the striped fabric and how much of the solid colored fabric I would need to replicate these seats and door cards?

I have it documented somewhere but if memory serves, it's something like 10 yards for the seats due to the pattern repeat and six for the doors. Keep in mind you'll need some seat material for the door tops and door material for the center door post.

Ok. I guess I'll try that. I wouldn't have thought they would be able to tell me that. Maybe on something more common but I wouldn't think they would even know what a 1948 Kaiser is.

I did seats and door panels on a 49. The corrory looking material took 7 yards but left no room for errors, and I think I bought 10 yards of Volta from the manufacturing fund and had some left over. I've always like to have more than I needed so if 10 yards were available of each I'd get it.
