Good morning all
We've had this very same discussion at a local lace group I belong to. One
of our members is also making a waistcoat in wool and anxious that she may
not have purchased sufficient to complete the whole garment. She recently
completed one front and it was suggested that she weigh it to calculate how
much she would need for the other front and back. We also suggested that
perhaps she might construct the back using a complimentary fabric but of
course she would prefer to make it in lace, as this would be a showpiece and
not worn under a jacket which would expose only the two fronts.

Go by ratio. Or go by weight. You will
know, or can measure the weight of 1 spool of the thread you will use.
(Most
manufacturers give you the weight rather than length in meters or yards.)
You
then measure the weight of the finished little square. Then do a ratio
equation.
