Plain polycotton, 60 inches wide, from £3.95 a metre — extra-wide easy-care fabric in solid colours.
Advantages of a 150cm fabric width
Measuring 60 inches (150cm) across, this material provides generous coverage across the width compared to narrower cloths. That broader span is particularly practical when laying out pattern pieces that require continuous fabric without pieced seams. Dressmakers can position wider flared skirts, full sleeves, and trousers with greater flexibility, while crafters benefit from the width for tablecloths, display backdrops, and protective covers.
The 70% polyester and 30% cotton blend
The fabrics in this selection feature a plain-dyed weave weighing 105gr/m2, composed of 70% polyester and 30% cotton. Combining polyester with cotton produces a smooth, lightweight cloth where the cotton contributes natural breathability and the polyester adds structural stability and crease resistance. It handles neatly under the sewing machine needle, making it straightforward to pin, cut, and stitch.
At 105gr/m2, this lightweight plain weave is widely used across dressmaking and craft work, including:
- Sewing test garments, fitting toiles, and design mock-ups
- Garment underlinings, facings, and inner pocket bags
- Bunting, costumes, and themed stage productions
- Dust covers, lightweight tote linings, and craft backings
