How Much Fabric Do I Need - Patches

Two Important Notes:

  1. The calculator is based on a usable fabric width of 42". Most likely you can use more of the width but I like to prewash my fabric and cut off the selvages. This gives me the extra I might need.
  2. The amount of fabric needed is the exact amount needed. You should purchase more than this just to be sure.

Start With A Patch

Example 1: A Square


Now we want to see how much fabric we need to cut 27 of these squares. Go to the calculator and enter these three numbers:

  1. Enter 5.5 in Lengthwise Grain
  2. Enter 5.5 in Crosswise Grain
  3. Enter 27 in Number needed

Enter the number of patches needed:

Cut strips @ inches x WOF

Sub-cut each strip into segments of inches.
