Pieces to Yardage Area Calculator

This calculator determines how much fabric is needed if you want to cut a given number of fixed-sized pieces. The amount of fabric is expressed as length (in yards) of a piece of fabric the width of which is specified by you. (The calculator defaults to a value of 43 inches.) You enter the dimensions of the piece of fabric you wish to cut and the number of such pieces that you want to cut. Then, click the Calculate button. Two calculations are performed since the amount of fabric required may depend on how the pieces are cut. In the second calculation, the width and length are reversed from the first calculation. (See the example in the picture below.) Please note that the amount of fabric to cut is the calculated amount of fabric rounded up to the nearest 1/8 yard.
