Some things to note

*Sizes calculations based on Asian sizes as follows:

This chart helps you determine the length for the pieces. However if you can afford buy more rather than less. Some cuts require more cloth then usual (eg bias cut). Sometimes you change your mind about a cutting or a completely different piece, buying a little more would help. If still unsure, contact me.
