Enter the area you need to cover and your fabric's bolt width to find how much to buy — rounded up to a real-world cut increment.
Estimate only — patterned fabric with repeats needs extra to match the design across seams.
We convert your area to the linear length needed at your fabric's bolt width, add a waste allowance for cutting and seams, then round up to the nearest quarter yard (or 10 cm) — the increment most fabric stores cut to. A patterned fabric with a repeat may need extra length beyond this to line up the design at seams.
It depends on your project's total surface area and your fabric's width — wider bolts need less linear yardage for the same area. Enter your numbers above for an exact figure.
Yes — fabrics with a repeating pattern (like stripes or a large print) often need 10-25% extra beyond a solid fabric so the pattern lines up across seams. Increase the waste allowance above to account for this.
