Ideal for beginners and experienced makers alike, this fabric provides cozy, breathable warmth with its natural-fiber composition. While it is incredibly easy to work with, users should note that the fabric is non-stretch and has a narrower width of 105cm, which may require additional yardage for larger garment patterns.

Yes, its stable, non-stretch nature makes it very easy to handle for those learning to sew.
No, this is a non-stretch woven fabric, which is perfect for structured garments and quilts.
The fabric width is 105cm.
Absolutely, the soft, natural brushed cotton is very gentle and comfortable for children's wear.
It is machine washable; we recommend washing in cool or warm water and drying on a low setting.
As it is a natural cotton fiber, it may shrink slightly. Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting your pattern.
Use a zigzag stitch or an overlocker on raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent fraying.
Adjust your machine's thread tension and ensure you are using a sharp, fresh sewing machine needle.
Before you begin your project, it is highly recommended to pre-wash your fabric as you would the finished garment to account for any natural fiber shrinkage. Use a standard universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12 is usually sufficient) for the best stitch results.
When calculating your yardage, keep in mind the 105cm width; you may need to purchase more meterage than you would for standard 150cm wide fabrics to accommodate your pattern pieces. For care, this fabric is machine washable. Wash in cool or warm water with like colors and tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the brushed fibers over time.
