Fabric & Sewing Calculators
Estimate fabric quantities for common sewing and home-textile projects. These tools support both imperial and metric measurements and explain their assumptions so you can check the estimate against your pattern and cutting plan.
Fabric Yardage Calculator
Estimate fabric length from cut-piece dimensions, quantity, usable fabric width and allowances.
Quilt Backing & Binding Calculator
Estimate quilt backing dimensions, backing yardage and binding strip requirements.
Curtain Fabric Calculator
Estimate curtain fabric for window width, fullness, finished drop, hems and pattern repeat.
Upholstery Fabric Calculator
Estimate fabric for simple seat and cushion panels with seam and waste allowances.
Fabric Piece & Cutting Layout Calculator
Estimate the number of rows and fabric length for rectangular pieces across a fabric width.
Fabric Unit Converter
Convert fabric lengths and widths between inches, feet, yards, millimetres, centimetres and metres.
Before you buy fabric
Use usable width rather than nominal bolt width when selvages cannot be used. Check grain direction, nap, directional prints, pattern repeats, shrinkage, seam allowances and the actual cutting layout. These calculators provide estimates for planning; they do not optimize arbitrary shapes or replace a garment pattern or professional upholstery plan.
