I was just looking online at some 54" wide fabric. Several
patterns I like for this project show yardage requirements
in either 45" or 60". I hate to have a whole bunch left
over, and yet I sure don't want to order too little. So I
found this chart:

Makes it easy to guesstimate what you need in an odd-size
width.

NAYY,

Beverly

You're welcome. I usually order the yardage listed for the
narrower width, but I *always* have fabric left over...too
little to actually do anything with. Caveat: I would still
order extra for napped and/or fabric which required pattern
matching.

I Tend to order extra and then use it to make Lazy Girl Purses.
Sometimes I give small amounts of Cotton prints to my DDIL for her
crafts or I make stuffed animals and pillows for the little DGC
The fabric I ordered today from Fabric.com for my skirt and top I
ordered more than I'll need but figured I'd have extra to make summer
shorts or a skirt of some kind
