It depends on how many people you want to profile.

Purchase Qty = 1 then you get access to one Quiz result.

The more you purchase the more times you can complete the Quiz and get a report delivered to you based upon that result.

If you have any questions about this Contact me (subject "Fabric Formula" and I will get onto it for you.

Choose fabric that suits your skin, facial features, body size and shape.

There are three(3) parts to the Fabric Formula:

1. The Fabric Formula Guide
2. The Quiz
3. Your Fabric Formula Report
4. Colour Tabs and Planning Template

1. The Fabric Formula Guide

You are guided through a series of questions to determine your colour type, and understand pattern scale and density for your body shape and size.

This is a manual hands on process so you learn how to work it out for yourself. This is not automated, because we want you to be able to gain the knowledge to repeat this process over and over for the special people around you.

2. The Quiz

Once you have completed the Guide, you will be ready to take the Quiz. You need your answers from completing the Guide to answer the questions in the Quiz.

3. Your Fabric Formula Report

The results of your Quiz will deliver you your Fabric Formula Report. It will appear in your Jane Harbison Design Sewing Hub. A link will be emailed to you. In addition this will trigger delivery of your Fat Quarter of colour swatches.

4. Colour Tabs + Template

After you have your Report your Colour Tabs and Planning Template will also be a downloadable resources in your Hub. Use it to plan your next sewing project or coordinated wardrobe - take a photo and take it shopping with you!

If you lose your Hub link

You can always access your Hub from the Account Icon in the top right of this website or in the Footer "Access Your Sewing Hub".

Yes. An email is sent to you with the link to download your PDF. You can instantly start decoding your Fabric Formula

I have tested this on friends who have little idea of what the Fabric Formula is but have an interest in understanding what colours look good on them.

They were able to read and complete the checkboxes within minutes. These answers are then used to complete the online quiz. The document is in English. 

No. There are no ongoing costs. Just one upfront very affordable charge. If it was an app there would be. This is another reason why I have not designed this as an app. 

There is an opportunity to buy your fabric swatches at the end as a reference tool but this is optional.

I want to know what you are. This helps me design the right fabrics for you. So you always have access to fabrics that suit you. 

My customers are based all around the world and I am genuinely interested in what suits you.

This will change over time as you change and age and that will be interesting to watch as well. It is silly for me to design a whole lot of fabrics in a Winter colour-way if none of my customers are Winter.

It depends how recently you did it. But yes I believe so, because it is more than just your colour type.

It is good to do a refresher because your facial features, skin colour and hair all change over time and sometimes it is enough to change your type. 

In addition to your colour type I make recommendations on wearable combinations that are complimentary, analogous and monochrome. And if you want, you can purchase a sample of fabrics that suit.

Yes, but…The Fabric Formula is designed with men in mind. references to body shape are for boys and men.

In addition fabric designs referred to suit boys and men. In saying this, it can also be insightful for women, in particular the colour types and fabric pattern scale and density for body size (not shape).

The Fabric Formula is a PDF. So you will need Adobe Reader (free) and access to the internet to download and do the quiz. The quiz is housed on an online survey software. 

I prefer this PDF method vs a digital app because this way you can learn each of the steps required to get the answer. Gaining skills is something I value and I have made sure to incorporate learning in the process. 

In addition it keeps the cost down for you.

There is a private Facebook page available to any customer of Jane Harbison Design. You are free to post pictures and ask for help in that group.

This document is designed for boys and men. There are 5 men’s body shapes covered when I discuss fabric design scale and density.

There is no refund as it is a digital product with instant access upon purchase.

This can easily be an app but I want you to learn the process for yourself. I want you to see how the answers to your questions are processed to give you your Fabric Formula. 

This way you gain a life long skill that you can apply to all members of your family. 

It fulfils one of the strengths of a sewer in that you are a life long learner.
