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.
The warm caramel brown tones give this British Millerain Eiger waxed cotton a softer, more contemporary look than traditional dark waxed fabrics. At 200gsm, it offers an excellent balance of durability and wearability, making it substantial enough for outerwear whilst remaining comfortable to sew and wear. The waxed finish enhances the rich colour, creating depth and character across the cloth.
With its generous 155cm width, Eiger is particularly useful for larger sewing projects where fabric efficiency matters. The weather-resistant finish makes it ideal for jackets, coats, overshirts and bags, whilst the warm caramel shade works beautifully across both men's and women's designs. Over time, the fabric develops the creases and markings that make waxed cotton so distinctive, creating a unique finish that reflects how the garment is worn and used.
⚠️Due to the nature of this fabric we are unable to provide refunds on any returned wax cotton. Therefore we recommend you purchase either a sample where possible or half a metre quantities to ensure you are completely happy with your fabric.
The roll price is £30 for postage. However, if you’re happy for it to be folded please proceed as normal. By folding it will come with crease marks on the folds.
