Re: sewing ? covering a round pillow
I have this book and it has that kind of info in it - I am using it to make seating cushions for our breakfast nook! It's really a good investment if you do a lot of home decor projects, or ever a few sporadic ones. It has tons of pictures which make it nice to look at. It tells you how much extra to cut for seam allowances, gives you a cutting layout for your fabric, etc.

Round like a sphere? Think of how a beach ball has different stripes. That's how I'd cut my fabric.
Or do you mean round like... um... a frisbee??
In that case, I'd measure how tall the side is, probably an inch if the picture was 12' diameter cushion. Add the side measurement to your 10" diameter and cut out a circle with that size diameter.
