Muslin consists of two finely woven layers, which gives it its typical crinkled look — light, airy and soft. 130 g/m² at 130 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 100 % cotton. Pre-washing is obligatory here — this fabric has a residual shrinkage of 10 %.
A fabric in Purple suits projects that should not look interchangeable. A batik gradient differs slightly on every length — which is exactly the appeal of these fabrics. Wovens fray at the cut edge — so finishing belongs to every seam, whether by zigzag or overlocker.

Frequently asked questions
How do I press it?
At the usual cotton temperature and slightly damp. Before cutting it pays off especially: a smoothly pressed fabric cuts precisely, a creased one does not.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them, especially patterned ones. In patchwork the small cut is the rule, and narrow strips still serve for pocket bags, appliqué or binding. Narrow strips make bias binding, wider offcuts become pocket bags.
Why does the fabric fray at the edge?
Because a woven is made of crossed threads that loosen at a cut edge. That is normal. Finish with zigzag, an overlocker or an enclosed seam — otherwise the edge unravels further with every wash.
What do I watch for when cutting?
The grain. Pattern pieces are aligned parallel to the selvedge, otherwise the finished piece distorts. On patterned goods the motif direction comes on top. The grain line appears on the pattern piece as an arrow; it runs parallel to the selvedge.
