Free fabric planners
How much fabric do I need?
Choose what you’re making and a fabric. We’ll work out the metres and show you how it looks made up, in any of our fabrics or a photo of your own.
Good to know
How do the planners work out the metres?
They use the width of the fabric you pick, typical sewing pattern lengths for dresses and crafts, and the curtain fullness or table drop you choose. Where a print needs matching, we add a little extra. Every planner rounds up to how the fabric is sold, so you won’t come up short.
Can I see how my own fabric looks?
Yes. Tap Use your own photo and pick a photo of the fabric, taken flat and straight on. Tell us its width and the planner shows it made up. Your photo stays on your device. It isn’t uploaded or saved.
Can I find a fabric by its code?
Type the SKU from a product page, an order or a sample into the search box. Names work too, like “rainbow cotton” or “Christmas PVC”.
Want the numbers on paper? Read our How much fabric do I need? guide.
