Woven cotton is the obvious choice when a piece should hold its shape — from a shirt to a cushion cover. Weight per square metre comes to 130 g/m², width to 145 cm. It is woven from 100 % cotton.
In Red the fabric reads confident. If you want to sew quietly, another tone is the better pick. As a plain colour the fabric partners patterned combinations — it steps back and keeps the surface quiet. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
