SEW FROM YOUR STASH
What can I sew with the fabric I have?
Start with the length on your shelf, then narrow the possibilities by fabric type, width and your chosen pattern size. These guides help you plan; the original pattern page makes the final call.
What can I sew with 1 yard of fabric?
One yard can be useful, but it is not a promise of an adult garment. See the compact projects and checks worth trying first.
ABOUT 1.8 METRESWhat can I sew with 2 yards of fabric?
Two yards opens up more beginner-friendly tops, skirts and shorts, depending on width and sizing.
How to use an amount guide honestly
Fabric length is only one part of the layout. A pattern's exact requirement changes with the garment view, your size, fabric width, sleeves, pockets, print direction and whether the fabric must be prewashed. We treat an amount as a way to make a sensible shortlist, not a cutting instruction.
