I have been told that one needs 2.25 yards of 60" fabric for a shirt. How much is needed if the width is 45" and 36 inch. Anyone?

Let's say I had two separate lengths of the same (solid color) cloth, each 60" by 40" - could a shirt be made from them, or would it need to be one continuous length of cloth?

Assuming they are from the same dye lot.

LALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING LALALALA My plan is flawless, and I'll not have logic interjected to foil it.
