I recently sewed up a pleated skirt with a contrasting inner pleat. I still need to hem it, which will take a while, as it’s quite a ways around the bottom!

For me a blanket and quilt backing…up next an over sized hooded bath towel for my grand daughter. I just got a fabric order in the mail with 19 one yard cuts that I bought on sale….this book would be perfect!

A bathrobe that required almost 4 yards of fabric…I think that’s one item I will just buy pre-made from now on! Pajamas and bathrobes take a heck of a lot more fabric than I ever expected them to.

Curtains for a whole wall of windows – meters and meters and meters – or should it be yards and yards and yards. Anyway I was pleased with the end result after much heaving and puffing.

A pant that did not work. But I turned it into a coat. My English is terrible! Sorry. :(

A bean bag. The inner bag alone used up a little over 4 yards of fabric. The outer bag requires the same as well.

Although I generally knit personalized cotton baby blankets, I have been experimenting with sewing large baby blankets using fleece. This has been taking up quite a bit of yardage !

I made a maxi dress that needed about 3 1/2 yards of fabric.

That easily had to be for a childs kimono I was trying to make for my then future offspring. However it was one of the very first things I had tried to sew and needless to say turned out poorly. I wasted so much fabric…

The most fabric I used to make a garment for.. my sofa :) I sew a cover for my old and not-very-attractive sofa – now it looks great!

I made a long dress for historical markets with long, flowing sleeves. That took around 3 m major fabric and 2 m contrast fabric

Currently I am working on a blazer, to ad to my collection of business outfits. It takes a few meters of fabric! In the meantime I have spend some time on easier projects and made loads of scarves as Christmas presents. Although these are quick projects I still needed a lot of fabric since they had several prints on one.

I made a king sized comforter cover!

I used about four yards to make a lovely white satin dress :)

The full-skirted wool coat I made recently took loads of fabric between the wool, the underlining, and the lining!

I’m making a new A3 portfolio bag for my boyfriend and it’s going to take a lot of fabric.

My prom dress that I made took so much fabric since I had a train on it and a liner shirt and a double lining on the bodice! My wallet really felt that one! haha.

Curtains. So much fabric and I always seem to need them.

My daughters wedding dress, and I have only done the ‘mock up’ so far!

I think most of my projects didn’t actually require that much fabric, but I have used about 1.7m (about 1.85 yard) in 150cm wide to make a winter, long-sleeved, wool challis dress, that falls just below the knees.

I’m currently making a reversible hoodie for my boyfriend. It’s taken about 3 yards of two different fleece fabrics and half a yard of a rib knit for the sleeve cuffs and the logo he wants on the back. It looks pretty good so far though.

I have a tie for two folkwear patterns: I made my husband an indoor Siberian Parka (with modifications) that took a little more than 3 yards of fabric (60" wide). A purple satin Blonde Bombshell (which I have since had to take a part because it’s too large) also took a little over 3 yards (60" wide), and probably more since I hope to make a matching wrap and hat for it.
My one project on the planning books that takes the most (8 yards of 60" silk taffeta) is a late1770s francaise or sacque gown.
