A Practical Guide to Cotton Lawn Fabric
Cotton lawn is one of those fabrics you come back to, light, breathable and easy to sew. A guide to how it feels, what to make and where to start.
There are florals, and then there are florals that make people stop and ask where you found the fabric. This black cotton is covered in beautifully embroidered ivory blooms, trailing leaves and winding stems that look as though they've been sketched by hand before being stitched onto the cloth. The contrast between the dark background and delicate embroidery gives it a striking appearance without feeling overpowering.
At just 88gsm, this is a light and airy cotton that remains comfortable to wear throughout the day. The embroidery adds texture and interest while the cotton base keeps the fabric breathable and easy to sew. It would make elegant blouses, floaty dresses, statement sleeves, skirts and occasion pieces that don't rely on bold colour to make an impression. Equally at home at a summer wedding or dressed down with a denim jacket, this is the sort of fabric that quietly steals the show.
