'Today I want to show you how to measure how much fabric you need to make an item. I’ll try to explain what to do in order not to buy too much or too little fabric. Let’s start with a simple straight dress. This technique is the same for a straight dress of any length. We’ll also talk about cut at waistline dresses. I’ll tell you about other types of the items too. If you want to make an item of a complicated design, with flare, draping or asymmetry, for example, make a full-size pattern. No one can tell you how much fabric to buy. Frills and ruffles are also very popular now. To make a small simple frill on a neckline, you’ll need just about 20cm. To measure how much fabric you need for big circle frills, you need to make them of a cheap modeling fabric. You may need 50 or even 70cm for them. We’ll talk about jackets. If you don’t want to buy any extra fabric you can measure all the details, calculate the lengths and buy a precise amount. What about coats? For coats you should buy a bit more than needed. Remember that fabrics for coats should be cut in one direction. You can’t turn them in order to save some. Of course you can make a mistake first time. Remember that practice makes perfect! This is true not only for sewing itself. The best thing to do is to measure everything yourself. Do not listen to he shop assistants or even me. Everyone is unique, so I’m not able to say for sure how much fabric you need for an item. My name is Paukshte Irina. Subscribe to my channel!'
