Have you ever picked up a pattern and noted the amount of fabric you need for a particular width, only to find that the fabric you love is a different width. There is nothing worse than buying too little fabric for the design you want to make.
Below is a handy conversion chart that will give you some idea of the fabric you require in different widths. print a copy and keep it in your bag!
Hope this helps!
Happy Sewing,
