Cotton woven is the most versatile fabric in the range: firmly woven, stable and without stretch — the classic for blouses, shirts, skirts and patchwork. At 115 g/m² and 140 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 100 % cotton. Mind the residual shrinkage of 7 %: wash the fabric once before cutting, the way you will wash the finished piece.
With Dusty Pink you get a warm tone that stays fresh through many washes. A check asks for care while cutting: the lines should meet at the seams. For blouses, shirts, skirts and dresses woven cotton is the classic choice — it holds the shape the pattern sets.

Frequently asked questions
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
