Description
This cotton woven frays at the cut edge, but in return it cuts precisely and does not distort while sewing. 110 g/m² at 140 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 100 % cotton.
A fabric in Lobster brings colour to children's clothes, bags and anything meant to read cheerful. Vehicles are the motif children reach for by themselves — from digger to tractor. Wovens fray at the cut edge — so finishing belongs to every seam, whether by zigzag or overlocker.
What Cotton Woven Vehicles in Lobster is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- cushions and table linen
- accessories and decor
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.
