Versatile and comfortable to sew

Thanks to the blend of 92% cotton and 8% elastomer, this cotton fabric feels natural against the skin and has a pleasant stretch across the width. That makes it especially easy to work with under the sewing machine, while also keeping your finished garments comfortable to wear. The fabric has a softness rating of 3/5, so it drapes nicely while still holding its shape well. Wash at 30 degrees, and avoid the tumble dryer, bleaching and ironing on a hot setting to help preserve the stretch and the rich colours.

Use it to sew a warm jumper, a cosy cardigan or a casual dress. It is also a great option for children’s clothing, thanks to the soft inner side and freedom of movement. A practical choice if you want a fabric by the metre that feels good, looks cheerful and is easy to enjoy in everyday wear. With its breathable cotton blend and comfortable stretch, this is a fabric you will reach for again and again.
