Shopping

• Measurement Errors at the Shop: It's possible there was a slight inaccuracy when the cloth was measured at the shop. While most shops use measuring tools, human error can still occur.
• Cutting Inaccuracies: Even if the measurement was correct, the cuts might not have been perfectly straight or on the exact mark. This can lead to a small loss of fabric with each cut.
• Fabric Shrinkage: Some fabrics shrink after being exposed to moisture or after washing. If the fabric wasn't pre-shrunk, it might have contracted slightly between the time you bought it and when you connected the pieces.
• Stretching During Measurement: Conversely, some fabrics can stretch when pulled. If the cloth was stretched during measurement at the shop, it could return to its normal length later, resulting in a shorter overall length.
• Seam Allowance: When you connect the pieces, you use some of the fabric for the seams. This seam allowance effectively shortens the overall length of the finished piece.
