Description
Woven cotton is the obvious choice when a piece should hold its shape — from a shirt to a cushion cover. At 139 cm wide its weight per square metre is 120 g/m². It is woven from 100 % cotton.
Ecru shows pattern and texture better than any dark tone — the fabric stays a quiet ground. Its festive motif makes this a seasonal fabric — for decor, gifts and table linen. It also suits patchwork and quilting: it cuts precisely and does not distort.
What Cotton Woven Christmas in Ecru is suitable for
- skirts and dresses
- bags and pouches
- curtains and drapes

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
