Ladies, please I need some help.
I bought two patterns for western shirts, and I pretty much understand how to make them. The question is, where can I find how much fabric I need? How do I calculate it? Or is it somewhere on the pattern and have I overlooked it... Sorry to bother you with stupid questions.

There should be yardage on the back of the envelope (near to where the sizing is most of the time), if the pattern came with one. If not, lay the pattern pieces out the way the cutting diagram shows and measure. I will try to find an image online for you...

OK, I circled the yardage on this pattern back so you can see where it is:

Thank you Tatum! I totally overlooked the Yds! Gosh I'm stupid

You're not stupid, just starting out. Also, make sure you pay attention to the width of the fabric, most modern fashion fabric is 42-46" wide, but not all. I once bought the yardage for 44"wide fabric not thinking about the fact that the fabric I chose was only 36" wide, needless to say, I did not have enough!

Thank you so much, Drappa, that is so sweet of you. My dream is to start my own line someday....

This is a suit I made for school this month. For once my professors actually liked the vintage inspiration and styling--I just wish I'd had more than 5 minutes to do the model's hair and makeup...

FABULOUS! Love the shoes, too!

Bitchin' sleeves!

I bought fabric and asked for help at the store. The man who owns the place was ever so kind to me He helped me with the measurements since we have the centimeter system and the pattern is American. So now I am going to call my grandma and ask if she will help me getting started. There is so much to learn I am very excited!

[Kitty_Sheridan]

Lovely! Are they the Decades of Style Empire pants too?

 

[Lillie Librarie]

Sorry the pictures are so bad but there was no one to take a picture of me before I left. This is a dress I whipped up in a few hours for a friend's 'James Buchanan Inaugural Ball' themed party.

I've been wanting that pattern. Do you think it will work for a large bust? I love all the pairings you made with it on your blog. Truly gorgeous.
