    The document provides a formula and example to calculate the fabric consumption for a knitted top. The formula takes into account the chest, length, sleeve length, bicep measurements plus allowances, as well as the fabric weight in grams per square meter (GSM). In an example calculation for a knitted top with specified measurements and a 200 GSM fabric, the total fabric consumption is calculated to be 354.83 grams.

    Fabric Consumption Calculation.

    Basic formula:
    To estimate fabric consumption for a knitted top use following formula. Consumption in grams= {(L*C) + (C*SL)}*2*GSM/10000 grams (when length units are in centimeter) Where, C= Chest +allowance L= length of the body measure + allowance SL= Sleeve length +Allowance B=Biceps +allowance GSM = fabric weight in grams per square meter Example: Product - knitted top. Garments components are front, back and sleeves.

    Measurements without allowances Chest (C) = 23.25 Body Length (L) = 30.5 Sleeve Length (SL) = 26 Bicep (B) = 9.2 Fabric GSM =200

    Measurement with allowances +1.75 = 25 +2.50 = 33 +1.50 = 27.5 +0.80 = 10

    As per above formula consumption of fabric for this style is = {(L*C) + (B*SL)}*2*GSM/10000 grams = [{(33*25) + (10*2*27.5)}*2*(2.54*2.54)*200]/10000 grams (Note: 2.54 is inch to cm conversion factor) = [{825+550}*400*6.45]/10000 grams = 354.83 grams Note: The above formula will give you only weight of fabric that is consumed by a garment. In the above formula, I did not included fabric loss due to fabric width, marker loss and fabric wastage (such as end loss, end bits, defects). When you purchase fabric you have to consider all of these parameter. To use calculation sheet download the following file. 1 inch = 2.54 CM
