⚡ CalcWolf Insight
The most expensive sewing mistake: buying one yard too little of a fabric that gets discontinued. Fabric stores cannot reorder from the same dye lot, and colors vary between batches. Always buy 10-15% more than calculated. Leftover fabric makes great throw pillows, tote bags, or test pieces for technique practice.
