Description
Muslin consists of two finely woven layers, which gives it its typical crinkled look — light, airy and soft. The web measures 138 cm across; its weight comes to 125 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % cotton. Residual shrinkage comes to 10 %. Allow accordingly more yardage and wash before cutting.
Mint sits in the green field and reads fresh or earthy there depending on saturation. It also suits patchwork and quilting: it cuts precisely and does not distort. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description.
What Muslin in Mint is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- bags and pouches

Frequently asked questions
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them, especially patterned ones. In patchwork the small cut is the rule, and narrow strips still serve for pocket bags, appliqué or binding. Narrow strips make bias binding, wider offcuts become pocket bags.
Why does the fabric fray at the edge?
Because a woven is made of crossed threads that loosen at a cut edge. That is normal. Finish with zigzag, an overlocker or an enclosed seam — otherwise the edge unravels further with every wash.
What do I watch for when cutting?
The grain. Pattern pieces are aligned parallel to the selvedge, otherwise the finished piece distorts. On patterned goods the motif direction comes on top. The grain line appears on the pattern piece as an arrow; it runs parallel to the selvedge.
How do I press it?
At the usual cotton temperature and slightly damp. Before cutting it pays off especially: a smoothly pressed fabric cuts precisely, a creased one does not.
