Description
Muslin is the summer fabric par excellence: it cools, drapes softly and looks intentional even crumpled. At 140 cm wide its weight per square metre is 140 g/m². It is woven from 100 % cotton. At 10 % residual shrinkage the fabric belongs in the wash before cutting, or the finished piece no longer fits after its first wash.
Dark Lilac stands between the poles: beside blue it reads warmer, beside red cooler. Flowers are the motif that stays in fashion longest; this print brings them at a scale that works on small pieces too. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement.
What Muslin Flowers in Dark Lilac is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- children's clothing
- accessories and decor

Frequently asked questions
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
