Fabric consumption

Fabric consumption is how many metres a garment needs. It follows from the pieces, the fabric width and the cutting layout, not from the size alone.

In the file

With digitized pieces the consumption can be worked out on screen. Arrange the pieces on the fabric width, read off the length, and buy accordingly instead of estimating.
