Hello,

It just depends on how many inches you would like for the border and framing purposes. Some people like 3 inches around the project and some like 6 so it just depends on what you, the stitcher, likes :) However many inches you would like around your project, just add that number to the finished dimensions size and that will be the size fabric you will need to get.

You can always use a fabric calculator online. I like to use this one:

Hope this helps! Thank you.
