Softshell is not ironed and needs no edge finishing — it does not fray. The fabric comes 145 cm wide and brings 310 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Blue carries pattern well without covering it — which makes the tone the favourite ground for prints. The star pattern runs evenly across the surface and needs no special alignment when cutting. Pins leave holes in coated goods that stay. Clips on the seam allowance solve it. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Softshell Bunte Sterne auf Blauen Wellen is suitable for
- gilets and overalls

Frequently asked questions
Can I pin it?
Only in the seam allowance. Coated goods keep every hole, and a seam cannot be unpicked without traces. Clips are the better choice, since they pierce nothing.
The fabric sticks to the presser foot — what helps?
A Teflon foot or a walking foot. Alternatively a strip of tissue paper between foot and fabric, torn away after the seam. A sheet of baking paper under the fabric also helps when no special foot is at hand.
How do I reinforce the seam?
On bags with a flat-felled seam or a second row of topstitching. That not only holds better, it also makes the seam flatter — and flatness is half the battle on thick fabrics.
What do I do with offcuts?
Wet bags, bag bases, rain covers and sit mats. Coated offcuts are too valuable to discard, because they do exactly what ordinary cotton cannot. A piece the size of a postcard already covers a bag base.
