Description
Woven cotton is the obvious choice when a piece should hold its shape — from a shirt to a cushion cover. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 120 g/m². It is woven from 100 % cotton.
Beige reads softer than white and lighter than brown. Exactly between them lies the range where natural fabrics look best. A check asks for care while cutting: the lines should meet at the seams. Pressing before cutting pays off: a smooth fabric lies exactly, a creased one does not.
What Cotton Woven Check in Beige is suitable for
- skirts and dresses
- bags and pouches
- curtains and drapes

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.
