Versatile cotton poplin for quilting and dressmaking

This fabric by the metre is a great all-rounder for anyone who enjoys sewing. The plain weave makes it stable and easy to handle, so it works well for beginners as well as experienced makers. It is especially popular for quilts and patchwork, as it keeps its shape beautifully and pairs well with other fabrics. You can also use it for dressmaking: think a smart blouse, a playful dress or a flattering skirt. The structure gives garments just enough body for styles that need a little shape.

We rate the drape at TVI softness: 3/5, which means it has a medium fall. It is not stiff, but not overly fluid either, so it holds a neat silhouette without feeling limp. That makes it ideal for projects with clean lines such as collars and cuffs. Whether you are making a quilt, clothing or accessories, you can count on a smart, lasting result.
