This high-quality 100% organic cotton fabric offers a distinct diagonal weave and a substantial feel, making it perfect for trousers, jackets, and bags.

FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for a summer dress?

While breathable, the 270 gsm weight is quite heavy for a typical summer dress; it is better suited for structured skirts or jackets.

How is the fabric supplied?

The fabric is sold by the metre and will be delivered as one continuous piece if multiple units are ordered.

What does GOTS certification mean?

GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard, ensuring the fabric is made from certified organic fibers and processed under strict social and environmental criteria.

Can I tumble dry this fabric?

While washing at 40 degrees is recommended, air drying is preferred to preserve the longevity of the fibers and color.

Does this fabric have any stretch?

No, this is a non-stretch, 100% organic cotton twill that relies on its weave for its structured hand-feel.

Troubleshooting

Fabric edges fraying during sewing

Use a zigzag stitch or a serger to finish the raw edges immediately after cutting.

Needle skipping stitches

Ensure you are using a sharp universal or jeans needle in a size appropriate for medium-to-heavy weight fabrics.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable 100% organic cotton construction
  • GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified for safety and sustainability
  • Sturdy 270 gsm weight provides excellent structure
  • Rich, consistent plum color
  • Supplied in continuous lengths

Cons

  • Not suitable for lightweight or drapey apparel
  • Requires careful preparation to account for cotton shrinkage
  • Limited to solid color application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning your project, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric to account for natural cotton shrinkage. Wash the fabric at 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid harsh bleaching agents to maintain the integrity of the plum dye.

For best results, press the fabric using a steam iron on a cotton setting while it is slightly damp. This will help refine the seams and create a professional finish. When storing, keep the fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading over time.
