Calculating fabric for curtains involves determining window measurements, desired fullness, and curtain length to estimate the correct yardage needed. Typically, fabric width and the type of pleating or gathering impact the amount required. Accurately calculating fabric ensures your curtains have the proper drape and coverage without waste, helping you budget effectively and achieve a professional, tailored finish for your window treatments.
