Help! I use imperial measurements, how much do I order?
We sell our fabric, interfacing & zippers in 10cm increments. Use the table below to convert inches and yards to our 10cm units and the other way around.
| Imperial to metric | Metric to imperial |
| 1/4 yard = 23cm = approx. 2.5 units | 10 cm = 1 unit = approx. 4" |
| 1/3 yard = 30.6cm = approx. 3 units | 0.5 m = 50cm = approx. 19" |
| 1/2 yard = 46cm = approx. 5 units | 90 cm (width of most Vlieseline interfacing) = 1 yard / 36" |
| 1 yard = 92cm = approx. 9 units | 1 m = 100cm = 10 units = approx. 40" |
| 43" = 110cm | 140 cm (width of most fabrics / faux leather) = 55" |
For hardware these are the most frequently used sizes.
| Imperial to metric | Metric to imperial |
| 1/2" = 12 to 13mm | 12mm = 1/2" |
| 2/3" = 15 mm | 15mm = 2/3" |
| 3/4" = 19 to 20mm | 20mm = 3/4" |
| 1" = 1 inch = 25mm = 2.54cm | 25mm = 1" |
| 1" 1/4 = 30/32mm | 32mm = 1" 1/4 |
| 1" 1/2 = 38/40mm | 38mm = 1" 1/2 |
