A common question that comes up from time to time when planning a new project is how much fabric is needed for a project for the different count fabrics. You may have noticed that on our new shop site - Cross Stitch Patterns, that we are including a finished design size AND recommended fabric size for every design. We're not only including measurements for 14 count aida cloth, but also for 16ct and 18ct aida as well as 25, 28 and 32 count evenweave fabrics!

However, if you need to figure a fabric size for a project that you don't already have these calculations done for you, you can use this planner as a guide.

Fabric size calculations:
What is the stitch count of my pattern:
*A*_________x *B*__________
What count is my fabric? If using aida cloth, or stitching “over one”, enter the amount in blank *C*. If using linen or evenweave and stitching “over two”, divide that number by 2. (Example: For 28 count fabric, divide by 2, and enter ‘14’ in blank *C*)
*C*___________
To figure the finished design size, divide the stitch count by your fabric count. Find the values from the blanks above and do the calculations here:
*A* ______ divided by *C* _______ = *D* ________ inches
*B* ______ divided by *C* _______ = *E* ________ inches
My finished design size will be *D* x *E*, but I will need to add extra fabric to each side to allow for framing. Most framers like to have an extra 3-4 inches on each side. (This also helps if I accidentally stitch my design off center a bit.)
How much fabric do I want to add to each side? *F* _______ inches
Now, multiply this by two. *F* _______ x 2 = *G* _______ inches
Add this to my finished design size that I figured earlier (*D* x *E*).
*D* ________ inches + *G* _______ inches = *H* _______ inches length
*E* ________ inches + *G* _______ inches = *I* ________ inches width
The fabric size that I need for my project is:
_______ x _______ inches

We've included a downloadable PDF for your convenience as well.

I'm so excited to announce the new pattern store is almost finished!   I've been working on this site for a few weeks now and I've been so anxious to share it with everyone.  Because of the great response to my request for thoughts in building the new site a couple of weeks ago, I have lots and lots of ideas!

The first phase is getting the shop portion up and running.  You can see how it's coming along here:  Cross Stitch Pattern Shop.  As of this writing, I only have about 15 products listed, but the functionality and design of the site is ready.  I'll continue adding patterns over the next couple of weeks until I get all of my current ones listed. The first list that I'm going through are the small hand-drawn patterns, and then I'll move on to the larger fractals and vintage art.  I've also got a new freebie on that site, but you'll have to visit to get it. Hehe

At this point, creating an account is not a necessity to check out, but I may add that in the future - simply because it will be tied to many other features and fun things!  A couple of things I have in mind are the ability for you to make your own photo gallery and/or blog.

Ok, enough of my rambling - please take a look if you have a moment!   Cross Stitch Pattern Shop
