The Example:
I would like to make a flared skirt 60 cm (0.6 M) long. I am size 16, so I use first table.
For my garment I will need 2 finished lengths (0.6X2) + 0.2M = 1.2+0.2=1.4M of fabric (140 cm)
Calculations are approximate, maximum amount of fabric that should be needed based on general clothing sizes. Take in account height and weight, and measure carefully to make sure you are purchasing enough fabric for your project.
If your garment has additional details such as patch pockets, pleats, complex collars and other design details, or you wish to use fabric with one way design, nap, checks or stripes, please allow extra 30 - 40 cm. Please note that fabrics containing natural fibres do shrink if washed. Please pre-wash such fabrics and allow for shrinkage when purchasing.
