Seam Allowance

Tailoring & Sewing

Choose a seam allowance for a garment and fabric, see the cloth a seam actually consumes, and convert a pattern from one allowance to another — with fractions reduced and metric paired the way patterns print it.

  • What allowance should I use?
  • How do I convert my pattern's allowance?
Inputs
Garment, fabric, seam type, finish
Output
Allowance in reduced fractions and paired metric
Open calculator

Pattern Grading

Tailoring & Sewing

Grade a pattern between any two sizes from your own base measurements, with per-measurement grade rules, a wider grade above L, and the amount to slash and spread at each pattern quarter.

  • How do I resize this pattern?
  • How much do I add at each seam?
Inputs
Garment, base and target size, your own measurements
Output
Per-measurement change, total, per size, and per piece
Open calculator

Sewing Units

Tailoring & Sewing

Convert the units a workroom actually uses: fractional inches, yards and metres, fabric weight between gsm and ounces per square yard, and iron temperatures by fibre.

  • What is that in centimetres?
  • What is this fabric's gsm?
Inputs
Category, value, source and target unit
Output
Converted value with a fractional reading
Open calculator

Thread & Needle

Tailoring & Sewing

Get one coherent machine setup — needle point, needle size, thread, stitch length, and tension — resolved from your fabric, its weight, and the project together.

  • Which needle and thread for this fabric?
  • What stitch length should I use?
Inputs
Fabric type, weight, project
Output
Needle, thread, stitch length, tension, alternatives
Open calculator

Body Measurements

Tailoring & Sewing

Convert a full set of body measurements between fractional inches and centimetres, and map them onto a published size chart to see which pattern size to cut.

  • What are my measurements in centimetres?
  • Which pattern size should I cut?
Inputs
Measurements, source unit, size chart
Output
Both units, plus a suggested pattern size
