Description
Woven cotton is the obvious choice when a piece should hold its shape — from a shirt to a cushion cover. At 140 cm wide its weight per square metre is 130 g/m². It is woven from 100 % cotton.
Light Turquoise reads deep or fresh depending on the fabric. On smooth wovens differently than on soft jersey. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Cotton Woven in Light Turquoise is suitable for
- skirts and dresses
- bags and pouches
- curtains and drapes

Frequently asked questions
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
