Buying fabric by
the yard in most designer lines is very expensive. Consider using
sheets or pillowcases for your sewing needs. Approximate yardage you'll find in sheets, both flat and fitted, as
well as pillowcases:
|
Bedding Size |
Yardage |
|
Twin Sheet |
4 yards |
|
Full Sheet |
5 yards |
|
Queen Sheet |
6 yards |
|
King Sheet |
7 yards |
|
Standard Pillowcase |
2/3 yard |
|
King Pillowcase |
1 yard |
If you buy a twin
sheet for $20.00, your cost per yard is only $5.00. Designer
fabrics, such as Ralph Lauren can cost between $35-75/yard or more.
You've saved up to $120 or more for the same fabric, just not off
the bolt!
