Tap an example to prefill the calculator with sample values.
Medium dress on 54-inch fabric
Standard garment shopping case
A realistic example where the sewist wants a safe order quantity without the exact pattern envelope in front of them.
Result: The order should round up enough to absorb small layout surprises at the cutting table
Plus-size pants in directional print
Print matching raises the cut order
Useful when a layout cannot be flipped freely and the project already needs extra room from size and shape.
Result: Directional prints can quietly turn a moderate garment into a larger fabric order
Wide-fabric quilt top batch
Two matching projects on a 60-inch bolt
A broad planning case where wider fabric changes the shopping number enough to matter.
Result: A wide bolt can save noticeable yardage before the order is rounded for the counter
