Description
Muslin consists of two finely woven layers, which gives it its typical crinkled look — light, airy and soft. The fabric is 130 cm wide and weighs 130 g/m². It is made from 100 % cotton. Mind the residual shrinkage of 10 %: wash the fabric once before cutting, the way you will wash the finished piece.
Dark Beige belongs to the natural shades: warm, calm and so unobtrusive that the fabric suits almost any project. Dyed plain, the fabric lets cut and construction work; a cuff or a companion fabric takes over the pattern elsewhere. Wovens fray at the cut edge — so finishing belongs to every seam, whether by zigzag or overlocker.
What Musselin - Double Gauze - Jenke Uni Dunkel-Beige by Swafing is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- patchwork and quilting

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
