Length converter
Convert any fabric measurement between centimetres, metres, inches, feet and yards.
Yardage estimator
Enter your fabric width, piece sizes and seam allowance. The tool tries both orientations to find the shorter length to buy and adds a waste/shrinkage margin.
Frequently asked questions
How much extra fabric should I buy?
10% is a sensible minimum; add more for pattern matching, directional prints, or fabrics that shrink when washed.
Does it handle complex patterns?
No — it assumes rectangular pieces. Use your pattern envelope's yardage chart for shaped pieces.
