This cotton woven frays at the cut edge, but in return it cuts precisely and does not distort while sewing. 145 cm wide, 130 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 100 % cotton.
The tone Petrol sits in the cool range. Beside yellow and orange it builds the strongest contrast there is. As a plain colour the fabric partners patterned combinations — it steps back and keeps the surface quiet. A universal needle and a straight stitch are all it takes — woven cotton needs no more.

- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- children's clothing

Frequently asked questions
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
