Fabic Sizes and Per Yard

Basic Fabric Sizes Needed and Per Yard Amounts

Please note that some fabrics have more or less stretch than others.

If you are not sure if a fabric you have is a knit or woven please feel free to ask me or refer to this article which is super helpful: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/5152/knits-wovens-whats-the-difference

Size of Fabric Cuts Needed (length x Width):

Gherkin- 16in x 15in

OS- 20in x 21in

BDD- 22in x 23in

Please let me know if you’d like cut measurements for Side Snapping Diapers or Dillies Cuts

Number of Diapers out of a Yard of Fabric:

(Please note that these are only approximations as there are a lot of variables in size of fabrics and this is for OS diapers)

Knit (non directional): 4 diapers per yard

Knit (Directional): 3 diapers per yard

Woven (non directional): 3 Diapers per yard

Woven (Directional): 2 Diapers per yard

With two continuous yards of fabric I will be able to get 1 to 2 more diapers out of it.

(Directional means that the fabric/print can only be turned one way to be the right way up on the bum cut. Please let me know if you have any questions about a particular fabric because piecing two pieces of the fabric together or by using two coordinating fabrics)
