Estimate fabric yardage for your projects
Whether you are designing a custom dress, reupholstering a vintage armchair, or cutting squares for a new quilt, buying the right amount of fabric is crucial. Buying too little halts your project, while buying too much wastes money. Our Fabric Calculator eliminates the guesswork by converting your project's inch requirements directly into the industry-standard purchasing units: Yards and Meters.
In the world of sewing and tailoring, fabric is rarely perfectly flawless, and cutting errors happen. Furthermore, many natural fabrics (like cotton or linen) will shrink after their first pre-wash. To protect your project, our calculator automatically factors in a standard 10% waste and shrinkage margin to the final result. This ensures you always have that little bit of extra material needed to match patterns, correct mistakes, or compensate for a slightly crooked cut at the fabric store.
