This is awesome. I can work with wood and you have taken the intimidation factor out of sewing by making it pieces to put together. I’m actually excited!

This is so helpful. Thank you. One question, how to calculate fabric with a nap?

[@marionwalker2820]

I think you'll find that this method does account for nap as all pieces are added up (height) wise so everything is mapped out, added up, as if off the roll, even with putting two pieces side by side with narrow pieces. For patterned stuff, you will need to allow more fabric so that checks, stripes, or flowers all appear lined up and this will use more fabric, just like patterned wallpaper. For fabrics with nap, it is crucial to mark the top of each piece so that when sewing, you do not sew one "upside down" and get the nap going thre wrong way.

I’m confused on the cushion boxing measurement. Why do you only add the 7” instead of 80”? Will you piece the 57” with the remainder of the 35” and have a seam in the boxing strip?

[@kristint1576]

wow, thank you. I've learned so much from this video. :) quick question, if I want to do a pleated skirt, is there a way to self line it with it's own fabric like you talked about or is that a whole different video?

Rail roading?

Tineke Williams cut up the fabric rather than across the width.

[@alicelowell7549]

Why is the total divided by 36???

[@mzsher88]

A yard is 36 inches long. Fabric is usually determined/cut in yards unless you are making something like a small pillow cover or baby clothes.
