Bed Linen Cut Plan & Fabric Consumption Calculator

Apparel /

Builds a flat sheet, fitted sheet or pillowcase from its finished size outward — hems, seams, fitted pocket depth and tuck-under, then residual shrinkage — and divides the cut width into the usable fabric width to find how many pieces lie across the roll. Reports fabric per piece in metres and kilograms, what the leftover selvedge strip is costing, and how close the cut is to gaining a piece across.

Fabric Relaxation Dwell before Cutting

Apparel /

Models relaxation as a fast and a slow viscoelastic component, returns the strain still in the cloth after a given dwell, the panel dimension error it will produce, the dwell a target residual actually needs and the roll buffer that dwell implies.

Reverses garment wash shrinkage to size the raw pattern block: raw length and width needed to land on the finished measurements, the growth added in each direction, the fabric consumption uplift and the spread caused by shrinkage variability.
