Description
Its double-weave build makes muslin breathable and still opaque enough for clothing. The web measures 140 cm across; its weight comes to 140 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % cotton. Residual shrinkage comes to 10 %. Allow accordingly more yardage and wash before cutting.
Cream sits at the light end of the palette and so reads open and friendly without turning cold. Pressing before cutting pays off: a smooth fabric lies exactly, a creased one does not. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Muslin in Cream is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- bags and pouches

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
