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.
A dark grey cotton, hemp and spandex blend with a soft, slightly textured surface and a looser, linen-like weave. It has a dry, natural handle with a gentle drape, sitting somewhere between a classic shirting and a lightweight trousering. The tone reads almost black, giving it a smart, understated look without feeling flat.
There’s a bit of give in both directions, with more stretch across the width, which makes it comfortable to wear and easy to move in. Ideal for relaxed trousers, shirts, dresses and overshirts where you want something breathable but with a bit more character than standard cottons. It’s one of those fabrics that looks simple at first glance but really comes into its own once made up.
