Description
Its double-weave build makes muslin breathable and still opaque enough for clothing. 125 g/m² at 133 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 100 % cotton. Pre-washing is obligatory here — this fabric has a residual shrinkage of 10 %.
A pale fabric in Ecru asks for a little more care in the wash, and in return reads fresher than any other. The floral print runs across the whole surface, so no pattern piece comes out empty. For blouses, shirts, skirts and dresses woven cotton is the classic choice — it holds the shape the pattern sets.
What Muslin Flowers in Ecru is suitable for
- children's clothing

Frequently asked questions
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
