Estimate how many yards of fabric a rectangular sewing project needs, including a waste allowance.
The calculator compares your project's width against the fabric bolt's width to see how many project widths fit across one cut of fabric, works out the linear length of fabric needed along the bolt accordingly, adds your waste allowance for pattern matching and cutting errors, and converts the total from inches into yards.
