Curtain Fabric Calculator
Estimate fabric like a home-textile worksheet: styles, separate window vs curtain sizes, fullness, bolt width, header/hem and waste. Shows total / body / header / waste, plus track, hooks and optional sheer.
How to use
- Pick a style (flat / pleat / roman / rod / tie)—defaults for fullness and header update
- Enter window size, then “Suggest from window” (about +25 cm each side, +20 cm height)
- Set fullness (~1.5–3), bolt width (140/150/280/300 cm), header, hem and waste (5–15% typical)
- Optionally enable a sheer layer for double curtains
Formulas
- Cut width = curtain width × fullness
- Panels = ceil(cut width ÷ bolt width)
- Body = panels × (curtain height + hem) / 100 m
- Header = panels × header height / 100 m (0 = none)
- Waste = (body + header) × waste%; total = body + header + waste
- Track ≈ window width + 30 cm; hooks ≈ cut width ÷ 10 cm
Save fabric
- Wider bolt → fewer seams
- Lower fullness → less fabric
- Shorter header → less fabric
