This John Kaldor Lizzano cotton sateen fabric is designed for dressmakers seeking a high-quality, smooth material for garments. Its key benefit is the luxurious feel and excellent drape, making it ideal for sewing tops, skirts, and dresses. A minor caveat is that being 100% cotton, it is non-stretch, requiring careful pattern selection for fitted garments. This fabric offers a beautiful floral pattern in yellow and black, composed of 100% cotton with a sateen finish.

This fabric is ideal for dressmaking, including tops, shirts, skirts, and dresses, due to its smooth texture and good drape.
No, this fabric is 100% cotton and is non-stretch. This provides stability but means it's less suitable for very form-fitting garments without careful pattern adaptation.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Iron on the reverse side with a warm iron.
A sateen weave is a type of fabric construction that results in a smooth surface with a subtle sheen, achieved by having the warp threads 'float' over the weft threads in a specific pattern.
While possible, this fabric's weight and drape are optimized for apparel. Quilting is generally better suited for quilting-specific cottons, which are typically lighter and stiffer.
The fabric has a width of 145cm (approximately 57 inches).
Ensure you used a gentle cycle and mild detergent. A fabric softener may help, or try ironing on the reverse side with steam.
Use a sharper, finer sewing machine needle (e.g., 70/10 or 80/12) and ensure your machine is properly threaded.
Always iron on the reverse side of the fabric and use a medium heat setting. Avoid excessive steam directly on the sheen.
Always pre-wash the fabric according to care instructions before cutting to account for any potential shrinkage.
Preparation: Before cutting, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Press with a warm iron on the reverse side to maintain the sateen's sheen.
Compatibility: This fabric is compatible with standard sewing machines and tools. It works well with various thread types, including cotton and polyester. Consider using a finer needle (e.g., 70/10 or 80/12) to avoid damaging the weave.
Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or air dry. Remove promptly and iron on a low to medium heat setting on the wrong side. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
