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 linen look fabric with a lightly textured surface and subtle crinkle running through it, giving a soft, slightly uneven finish. It has that familiar dry handle you expect from linen style cloth, but with a smoother feel and more consistency, in a muted sage green shade.
At 170gsm, it sits in a useful midweight, with enough body to hold its shape while still moving easily. The texture adds interest without being over the top, making it a straightforward choice for shirts, dresses, co-ords and relaxed trousers. Easy to sew, presses well and holds up nicely in everyday wear.
You’ll find this cloth across several colours in both plain and striped versions, ideal if you’re looking to create coordinated outfits. Take a look.
