How to use it
- Enter garment length and fabric width in one unit.
- Add the garment quantity and expected waste percentage.
- Calculate totals in meters and yards.
Fabric Consumption Calculator
Estimate linear fabric required from garment length, quantity and waste factor.
About the Fabric Consumption Calculator
This calculator gives a simple linear-fabric estimate for repeated garments.
How it works
Linear fabric equals garment length multiplied by quantity, then increased by the waste percentage.
Common use
Use it for an early material estimate before confirming a marker or cutting plan.
Notes
Fabric width is normalized and displayed for reference. The linear estimate assumes the entered width is adequate for the pattern layout.
