It doesn't have to be a tube. You can cut the yardage into two equal pieces. Take one of the pieces and cut it in half down the middle (each piece will have a cut edge and a selvedge edge). Sew the narrower pieces one to each side of the wide piece. The wide piece will be in the middle, the two narrower pieces on each side.
Here's an example. You buy 6 yards of fabric. Cut it into two 3-yard pieces. Take one of those pieces and slice it down the center so you have two pieces that are 21-inches wide and 3 yards long.. The 42-inch wide piece will be in the middle; one 21-inch side piece will get sewn to each side of it.
