About
You're at the fabric store. The pattern says 2.5 yards of 45-inch fabric, but the bolt in front of you is 60 inches wide. How much do you actually need?
Fabric Yardage Calculator does that math for you. It gives you the answer in fractions (1 7/8 yards, not 1.875) because that's how fabric gets cut.
Four calculators, each on its own screen:
FABRIC WIDTH CONVERTER
Your pattern assumes one fabric width. The store has another. Enter both widths and the yardage your pattern calls for. The app converts it. Works with or without seam allowance (quilting 1/4" or garment 5/8").
QUILT BACKING
Enter your quilt dimensions and bolt width. The app figures out how many panels to cut, which direction to run them, and how much yardage to buy. It picks the layout that wastes less fabric and writes out the cutting instructions.
BINDING
Enter your quilt size and strip width. Get the total binding length, number of strips to cut, and fabric yardage. The standard 12-inch joining allowance is built in.
GARMENT YARDAGE REFERENCE
Pick a garment type (dress, blouse, skirt, pants, jacket) and a size range. Get a yardage estimate for both 45-inch and 60-inch fabric. Data from standard pattern company charts.
