SewYardage: Fabric Calc

About

SewYardage tells you how much fabric to buy for your next sewing project — before you're standing at the cutting counter doing math in your head. Most "fabric calculators" are just a length times a number. SewYardage is built around how garments are actually cut, so the estimate accounts for the things that trip people up. PICK YOUR PROJECT - Choose a garment: skirt, dress, blouse/shirt, pants, jacket or a child's garment. - Choose a size (S, M, L, XL) and your fabric width — 90, 110, 115, 140 or 150 cm (36, 44, 45, 54 or 60 in). - See the yardage instantly, in both yards and meters. ACCOUNTS FOR THE HARD PARTS - With nap / one-way fabrics (velvet, corduroy, directional prints) add extra for a single-direction layout. - Plaid and stripe matching adds fabric for repeat matching, based on the garment's major pattern pieces and your fabric's repeat length. - On-fold vs single-layer cutting. - Your own safety margin for shrinkage, mistakes and matching. SEE THE MATH - A clear breakdown shows base fabric plus each adjustment, so you understand where the number comes from. - Amounts are rounded up to the next 1/8 yard or 0.1 m — the amount you'd actually buy. - Tap Copy to drop the result into your notes or shopping list. QUICK REFERENCE - A standard fabric-requirement chart for every garment and fabric width, based on published Misses charts and pattern-envelope ranges. HONEST ABOUT ESTIMATES - These are approximate. Every pattern is different — always check your pattern's own fabric requirement before you buy. SewYardage gets you close and helps you sanity-check the envelope. Buy once. No subscription. No ads.
