Description
Its double-weave build makes muslin breathable and still opaque enough for clothing. Weight per square metre comes to 165 g/m², width to 142 cm. It is woven from 100 % cotton. At 5 % residual shrinkage the fabric belongs in the wash before cutting, or the finished piece no longer fits after its first wash.
In Green/Blue/White a piece gains something calm. The tone is neither cold nor warm and therefore straightforward. The floral print runs across the whole surface, so no pattern piece comes out empty. Pressing before cutting pays off: a smooth fabric lies exactly, a creased one does not.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
