60" Fabric Requirements! (and cutting layout)

Okay, the plan is to bombard you with information so there is no way you can go wrong!
I took a screen shot of each layout, so as long as you understand which way your fabric goes, you'll know exactly how to cut it, although its like a puzzle and as long as everything fits - it doesn't really matter how you get all your pieces cut out.

Here are the fabric requirements of a 60" width bolt (keep in mind, if you need extra length, you'll want to grab extra fabric)

Size 12 m - 1 yard
Size 2T     - 1 yard
Size 3T     - 1 yard
Size 4T     - 1 1/2 yards
Size 5T     - 1 1/2 yards
Size 6       - 1 2/3 yards
Size 7       - 1 7/8 yards
Size 8       - 2 7/8 yards
Size 10     - 3 1/8 yards
Size 12     - 3 1/3 yards


For sizes 1-7, you'll fold your 60" fabric so the selvedge edges meet. The top of the illustration is the selvedge edges and the bottom of the illustration is where the fold is. I'll include a photo if you are more visual.








Size 4 and 5






For sizes 10-12, the photo is arranged the same direction but your fold will be on the left. You will have a selvedge edge at the top and bottom. The pattern pieces extend the "fabric" on the layout, but you'll understand when you see the pictures.




Please let me know if you have any questions! I'm going to work on the fabric requirements for 44" width bolts this weekend and post those as I finish. Happy fabric shopping!
