PLEASE NOTE: Fabric is sold in half metre units. For example, to order 1.5 metres, please enter a quantity of 3.

This soft, brushed cotton has the softest feel on the inside. The raised surface on the inside creates a cosy, almost enveloping softness - like a quiet layer of warmth against the skin. Smooth on the outside with a delicate pinspot design in black, it balances comfort with a clean, considered look.

Light to midweight with a soft structure, it's ideal for garments that are both practical and comforting to wear. Shown here made into the Pyjama Bottoms, it's particularly perfect for sleepwear.

What Clients Are Saying

“Loved this kit, gorgeous fabric, interesting pattern and clear instructions”

Ruth

"The Blouse was a great project, with very detailed instructions, helpful photos, and useful sewing techniques. I have certainly learnt from this make, and the blouse turned out perfectly. I was so thrilled with the pattern that I made another, straight after completing the first! The option for 2 patterns in the pack was great, as my daughter has requested a blouse, and I really dislike tracing patterns! I added to the seam allowances so I could sew French Seams at the shoulders and sides, and reduced the seam allowance on the collar so that it was more of a feature, just my preference for the sew.
