Tips

1
Wider fabric (54-60") needs less yardage than standard 45" bolt width.
2
Pattern repeats add 10-25% more fabric. The larger the repeat, the more waste.

Open formula

Yardage = Base Amount × Width Factor + Pattern Repeat Extra

Base yardage varies by garment type and size. Adjusted for fabric width, pattern repeats, and nap direction.
