Important Note – Before You Proceed!

This tool is designed to help you accurately estimate the total cost of making your bag by considering various components and supplies. Enter your details to get an approximate cost based on your selections.

There are two versions of this calculator:

• Metric (meter/centimeter)
• Imperial (yard/inch)

Ensure you’re using the correct version.  Be consistent – if you use the imperial system for your supply list, apply it to your pattern pieces and all related entries. Convert all prices to your local currency, if necessary.

Note: Auto calculations have been excluded to keep the process simple (KISS).
