Description
Coated cotton wipes clean and repels water — meant for bags, bibs and table linen. Weight per square metre comes to 240 g/m², width to 69 cm. It is woven from 100 % cotton.
In Blue the fabric reads matter-of-fact and calm. For everyday clothing that is the least complicated choice. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Coated Cotton in Blue is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- cushions and table linen
- bags and pouches

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.
