Description
Satin shines on the face and stays matt on the reverse. That sheen comes from the weave rather than a coating. 140 cm wide, 190 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 97 % cotton and 3 % elastane.
The tone Terracotta/Earth Tones belongs to the earth colours and suits green, beige and rust without a second thought. For blouses, dresses and wide trousers drape decides — and that is exactly what this fabric brings. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Baumwoll Satin mit Strichen in Terrakotta/Erdtönen is suitable for
- blouses and tunics
- summer dresses
- linings for jackets

Frequently asked questions
How do I finish thin wovens?
Most cleanly with a French seam: the raw edges are enclosed in the seam and nothing shows outside. Alternatively with an overlocker, if the fabric is not too fine.
How do I recognise good drape?
By its behaviour over your hand: a fabric with drape falls into soft folds instead of standing. The softer the drape, the wider the cut may be without looking shapeless.
May it go in the dryer?
Better not. Viscose shrinks noticeably there, and polyester does not need it since it dries fast anyway. Hung up and pressed slightly damp, both look better.
What do I do with offcuts?
Facings, pocket bags, bindings and hair ties. Fluid goods work well even in narrow strips, as long as the edge is enclosed. For neckerchiefs and hair ties an offcut that would otherwise be scrap is plenty.
