Customer Reviews
Gorgeous colour and print and feels really nice and drapey. Very good quality. I'm very happy with it.
Lovely printed Cotton Sateen at a great price. It has the right weight for my project. I've successfully cut a McCall's 7714 dress in 1.5m. The fabric holds its shape well with a semi-structured silhouette.
I made a shirt for my husband and he’s delighted
This is a really great quality cotton. I have made it up into a kimono and it looks great. Such a great design
somewhere between dark maroon and brown. Lovely quality fabric, Washes and irons easily. Looking forward to making a shirt for the autumn.
