Dear Nehzat,

When you take custom measurements, how do you decide / know how much fabric is required to complete the garment? I don't have any understanding of this and would much love your inputs here.

Thanks,
Vi

Re: How much fabric do I need to buy

Dear Vi,

In this chapter, link below, I explain how to lay the pattern on your table to find out how much fabric you need to buy, depending on the width of the fabric. Although this is a pants sewing lesson, the instructions can apply to any type of project.

Hope this helps you out.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
