FabUnits: the Vintage Fabric iPhone App
+ + +
I'm an aspiring seamstress by night, but during the day I make iPhone apps. After sewing many vintage patterns, not too often I am presented with something like this:
Vintage fabric bolt sizes come in many more widths than ours do today. I often found myself buying too much fabric. Based on the square area of fabric needed, I calculated how much fabric it would equate to using our modern day bolt size measurements.
I also added two extra screens that calculate total price based on price per yard, and convert meters to yard and yards to meter.
