Barcelonetta 100% Cotton Flannel Fabric — Sage, 1.8 m | 180GSM Medium-Weight, Super-Soft

Barcelonetta 100% cotton flannel in sage is a medium-weight, 180gsm fabric sold by the 2-yard length for sewing cosy apparel, quilts, and home crafts.

This soft, breathable flannel combines natural cotton comfort with a slightly brushed surface for warmth without bulk. At 180 grams per square meter, the textile sits between lightweight shirting flannel and heavy blanket flannel, making it an adaptable choice for year-round projects. The solid sage colour offers a muted, versatile tone that coordinates well with neutrals and seasonal palettes.

How does this flannel perform for clothing and wearables?

Because it's made from 100% cotton and finished with a gentle nap, this fabric feels comfortable against skin and breathes better than synthetic blends. The medium weight offers structure for shirts, pyjamas, and casual dresses while still draping naturally. It resists excessive stretching and is suitable for patterns that call for stable, easy-to-handle fabric.

• 180gsm provides moderate warmth without heaviness
• Soft brushed face for next-to-skin comfort
• Good drape for shirts, pyjamas, and light outer layers
• Stable weave that holds seams and hems well

Can I use this flannel for quilting and home décor?

This flannel works well in quilts as a cosy backing or block fabric, and its solid sage shade pairs easily with patterned prints. For home décor, use it for pillow covers, throw blankets, and pet beds where soft texture and warmth are desired. It presses and stitches cleanly, making it beginner-friendly for patchwork and appliqué.

• Nice as quilt backing or block fabric
• Ideal for throws, cushions, and pet accessories
• Easy to wash and press for craft projects
• Solid colour simplifies colour-matching and palettes

What do I need to know about care, prewashing, and handling?

Prewashing is recommended: cotton flannel can shrink modestly on first wash, so launder before cutting to preserve final dimensions. Use cool to warm water and a gentle cycle, and tumble dry low or line dry to maintain softness. Press with a medium iron on the reverse side to avoid crushing the brushed surface.

• Prewash to account for slight shrinkage
• Mild detergent; avoid high heat drying
• Iron on reverse to protect nap
• Suitable for machine sewing with universal needles

How much fabric will I need for typical projects?

A 2-yard cut of this medium-weight flannel is convenient for smaller garments and many craft uses. Expect to use roughly 1.5–2.5 yards for women’s pajama sets depending on size and pattern, and 2–4 yards for simple dresses or quilts where it’s used as backing. Always consult your pattern’s yardage chart and allow extra for directional nap or pattern matching.

• Approx. 1.5–2.5 yards for pyjamas (varies by size)
• 2–4 yards for simple dresses or tunics
• 3–5 yards for generous quilt backings
• Buy extra if matching nap or cutting directional pieces
