Offered in a warm brown and sold in a 2-yard length on a 60-inch roll, it works well where a light, stable woven is needed — from skirts and tote bags to linings and lightweight home décor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this poly-cotton blend a good choice for sewing projects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 35\/65 cotton-to-polyester ratio balances natural softness with synthetic durability. That combination reduces shrinkage and resists wrinkling compared with pure cotton, while still feeling comfortable next to the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35% cotton for a softer hand and breathability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e65% polyester for strength, colour retention, and reduced wrinkling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight weight suitable for garments and linings without bulk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60\" width to lay out patterns efficiently and minimize seams.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it perform for clothing like skirts and workwear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fabric’s light weight and breathability make it suited to summer skirts, shirt linings and casual tops, while the polyester content adds abrasion resistance for pieces that get regular use.

The smooth, tightly woven surface feeds predictably through home sewing machines and resists puckering when sewn with a standard needle.

A warm iron restores a crisp finish quickly; use a press-cloth if you prefer a lower heat setting to protect any finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachine wash warm, gentle detergent recommended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTumble dry low or hang to air dry to reduce static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvoid bleach to keep brown colour rich and even.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress with medium heat; use steam for stubborn wrinkles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for?
