How To Calculate Fabric Consumption From Marker?
How To Calculate Fabric Consumption From Marker?
The quantity of fabric needed for making a garment is called fabric consumption for costing. It is
difficult to know the actual consumption before completion of marker planning but we can get an
approximate fabric consumption from sample.
For example, if we have got 12 pcs marker and we know that markers needed fabric is 25 yds
and one time we lay 200 ply. So how much time to lay and what is the actual fabric consumption
for 1000 dozen of garments?
Solution:
Fabric consumption for 1000 dozen garments = 5 X 200 X 25 = 1000 X 25 = 25,000 yds.
Internationally fabric having five types of width for woven fabrics 35”, 40”, 45”, 50”, 60”.
Boys & girls = 6-16 years, Size : 6-8/S, 9-11/M, 12-14/L, 15-16/XL, 16+/XXL .

1. Extra Yoke:
A+B+C+D+E = (9480+7176+1232+238+806)sq.cm
=18932sq.cm=18932÷127=149.07cm=1.49m =1.5m/Pc.
Size Rato:
S = 2X1.48 m = 2.96 m
M = 3X1.50 m = 4.50 m
L = 3X1.52 m = 4.56 m
XL = 2X1.54 m = 3.08 m

Now fabric consumption per shirt will be, A+B = 1637+540.5 = 2177.5 sq. inch.
=2177.5X6.45=14048.36 sq.cm.=1.40sq.m

It is also required to calculate pocketing fabric requirement. As per design two front pocket
needs pocketing fabric is calculated as follows-
Total fabric consumption = 18.86 yds = 18.86 X 0.91= 17.16 m/dozen
