Malawi Cotton Poplin Fabric | Textielstad

Bring a sense of adventure to your next project with Malawi, a cotton poplin fabric by the metre in a khaki animal-skin inspired print. Woven from 100% cotton, it has the smooth, matte finish you expect from poplin, with a distinctive dessin that gives blouses, dresses and quilts a natural, modern look. At 115 g/m², this dressmaking fabric feels light and comfortable, making it a great choice for breathable everyday sewing.

Easy to work with cotton poplin

Thanks to its plain weave, this fabric is sturdy, stable and non-stretch, so it cuts and sews beautifully. That makes it a practical option whether you are just starting out or have plenty of sewing experience. The drape is medium, so it holds its shape well in pleats and collars without feeling stiff.

Malawi is a versatile fabric for all kinds of makes. Use it for a stylish blouse, a floaty summer dress or a comfortable skirt. It is also ideal for quilt and patchwork projects, where the print really stands out. As a cotton fabric with a matte surface, it works well for accessories too, such as bags or cushion covers, and for adding a subtle decorative touch to your home sewing.
