Fabrics
You buy metres, not surprises.
The composition, bolt width and weight written on every fabric, plus how many metres your project needs.

What the fabric is

How many metres you need
The figures are for the bolt width in the fabric sheet; on a narrower bolt you need more.
| Project | Metres | Worth remembering |
|---|---|---|
| Straight dress, size M | 1,8 m | With short sleeves; for long sleeves add another 0.4 m. |
| Women’s shirt | 1,6 m | Includes the cuffs and the collar. |
| Curtain, 2 m drop | 2,4 m | With a 10 cm hem top and bottom. |
| Bedding for a double bed | 6 m | Sheet, duvet cover and two pillowcases. |
Cut a little long the first time: fabric cut short does not grow back.
