Have you ever caught the last day of an AMAZING  fabric sale, found the perfect fabric for your personal DIY window dressing, home decor or upholstery project yet forgot to jot down the measurements for yardage accuracy?

How about  shopping to match up a shade of pink by eyesight in an attempt to meet a wedding client’s deadline only to find that once you got to the store there were about twenty similar shades than you anticipated and now with only your memory to serve you, you find yourself struggling to remember if the exact color as pastel pink or cotton candy?

Or having the opportunity to shop for fabulous fabrics abroad with specific fabrics and color palates in mind,  but now finding yourself struggling to convert meters to yards and dollars into pounds?
