How we calculate: Base metres are for plain 137cm fabric on standard UK shapes. Narrower widths or large pattern repeats add fabric; we uplift by width ratio and add one repeat per item where applicable. Always allow a sample check — every frame differs.

Project type

Heading / fullness

Track / pole width (cm)

Finished drop (cm)

Fabric width

You'll need approximately

0metres of face fabric

How we calculate: Number of widths = (track × fullness) ÷ fabric width, rounded up. Cut length = finished drop + 30cm hems, rounded up to the next pattern repeat. Total = widths × cut length. Lining is a separate quantity at the same number of widths.
