Extra fabric needed to match plaids, stripes, or one-way design fabrics...

These famous words are found on almost any pattern. Yet, no pattern company is so bold as to suggest how to calculate how much extra yardage is needed.

small plaids---add approximately 1/4 yard
medium plaids---add approximately 1/2 yard
large plaids---add approximately 1 yard

Stripes require the same as plaids.

One way designs of a single motif requires as much as an additional garment length in yardage. Smaller motifs may just require the extra amount to be the distance between the motifs.
