Fabric Unit Converter

Fabric Unit Converter

Sewing patterns come from everywhere, and every country measures differently: American patterns talk in inches and yards, European ones in centimetres and metres, and vintage ones sometimes in feet. Converting by hand is where cutting mistakes start — one wrong decimal and a sleeve becomes a scarf. This converter turns any fabric measurement into all the others at once, so you can follow any pattern with the ruler you already own. Type a number, pick its unit, and read off inches, centimetres, feet, yards and metres together. It is the small tool you will reach for on nearly every project, from checking a fat quarter to converting a whole quilt’s yardage.

How to use it

  1. Enter your measurement as a number.
  2. Pick the unit it is in (inches, cm, feet, yards or metres).
  3. Read all five conversions instantly — no button needed.
  4. Cut with confidence, in the unit your ruler understands.

Exact factors: 1 in = 2.54 cm, 1 ft = 30.48 cm, 1 yd = 91.44 cm, 1 m = 100 cm.
