Sewing & Fiber
Quilting, rug making and stitching — and the calculators I built because the math was the part standing between me and the making. Free, no sign-up, and they work on a phone at the cutting table.
- Rag Quilt CalculatorLayout, fabric shares and yardage for a rag quilt.
- Rag Quilt PricingMaterials, labor and margin to a suggested price.
- Coiled Strip Rug CalculatorStrips, batting and thread for a coiled fabric-strip rug.
- Coiled Strip Rug PricingWhat a handmade rug costs to make, and what to charge.
- Stretch Headband CalculatorCut sizes for a stretch-knit headband using negative ease.
Estimates come from general geometry and honest arithmetic, not from magic. Prewashing, shrinkage, directional prints and fussy cutting all move the numbers — check them against your own results and buy a little extra when the fabric matters.
