The structure stands slightly proud and keeps a distance from the skin — pleasant in warm weather. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 170 g/m². It is woven from 100 % cotton.
Ecru shows pattern and texture better than any dark tone — the fabric stays a quiet ground. Animals as a motif work on small pieces as on large, as long as the print is not scaled too big. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement.
What Baumwoll Pique kleine Hasen auf Ecru is suitable for
- skirts and dresses
- bags and pouches
- curtains and drapes
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.
