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.
Fresh blue stripes meet sketched navy florals in this crisp yet easy-wearing cotton fabric. The combination of classic shirting stripes and oversized botanical outlines gives it a smart, modern look that feels equally suited to everyday dresses, shirts and relaxed summer separates. The pale blue and white background keeps the design bright and fresh, while the darker floral print adds definition and contrast.
Woven from 100% cotton and weighing approximately 98gsm, this lightweight fabric is breathable, comfortable and straightforward to sew. A gentle 5% mechanical stretch across the weft provides a little extra ease without changing the character of the cloth. Perfect for shirt dresses, blouses, skirts, lightweight trousers, pyjamas, children's wear and holiday wardrobe sewing where comfort and style go hand in hand.
