Care Instructions

Wash

Always pretreat fabric before sewing to remove chemical sizing from the manufacturing process. Pre-washing also gives you a better sense of the true drape and handfeel of a fabric. We recommend washing and drying fabric in the same way you intend to wash your finished garment. Be sure to separate brights and colours, as some dyes and prints may run the first few times you wash them. You can add half a cup to one cup of vinegar to the final rinse cycle to help set the colours and minimize bleeding. It’s important to wash and dry cotton to remove any potential shrinkage down the road.

Long-Term Care

Machine wash in warm water and tumble dry on medium or hot.

Fabric Tips

You can use a hot iron when pressing cotton. You can use sharp point universal needles to sew your projects. We recommend starting your project with a brand new needle.

Not Sexy But Perfectly Sensible

Fabric was just what I expected and worked just as I needed it to. Sensible fabric for a sensible garment. ❤️

Good quality and sews well

I finished a button-down shirt with this fabric. It sews well and irons up crisply. It is not as fine a fabric as the blue oxford (same company) but is a classic oxford.

Le tissu est tel que sur la photo, il semble être de bonne qualité, et j’ai hâte de me faire un chemisier avec celui-ci. Merci beaucoup!

Simply Stunning

I had heard so many people rave about this Oxford Cotton I had to give it a try.
They weren't wrong, this is exceptional fabric.
I used it to make my first Jenna shirt. It was wonderful to work with - stable, didn't fray much, pressed well, and looks and feels fantastic to wear. I am currently making my second Jenna with different material and I definitely see the benefits of using Oxford Cotton. Highly recommend!

Blue Oxford shirting

I haven't started work on the shirt so I don't know about handling and characteristics yet but the fabric looks of first quality. Having said that I am still searching for Oxford shirting in a medium weight for Winter use. The wrapping and packaging was very classy indeed!

Great quality!!!

I was looking for Oxford Cloth white and blue fabric as background for a quilt using my husband’s work shirts now that he is retired. He wore mostly high quality Oxford cloth shirts and this fabric from Core Fabrics was a perfect for my project. The first one turned out so good, my adult kids want quilts to match!

Love this fabric!

The Oxford shirting is the best for making a shirt of course! It’s a dream to sew with and feels great on! I made a shirt from #sedonashirtpattern from @designerstitch.

I haven't had time to sew a shirt from the Cotton Oxford Shirting - Black, but I can tell it is very high-quality.

Cotton oxford

Love this fabric used it several years ago on button down shirts. I have lost weight and have purchased it again for new shirts.

Worked great for a men’s button up!

I made a dress shirt for my husband in my college sewing class. This fabric worked beautifully and was so pleasant to sew with! My only complaint was when I was sewing with the grain line, I noticed my stitches stood out significantly. But going perpendicular they look perfect and tightly stitched together. I thought I had a too big needle size or something was wrong with my machine at first but realized it’s just how the fabric was! Super odd, I’ve never noticed that in another fabric (I’m in my 4th advanced sewing class so not a novice but not a total expert), maybe it’s a thing and was just more dramatic in this Oxford weave. I probably wouldn’t have noticed either if I wasn’t sewing something where perfect topstitching and edgestitching was a critical part of the make. But it’s fine it worked out and the shirt looks amazing! Would honestly purchase this fabric again for a shirt or dress for me.

Love that it’s lightweight!

I got the Oxford in turquoise and I love both the colour and weight. Oxfords are often heavier, making them less appealing to wear in summer. This Oxford feels more lightweight, and I’m looking forward to turning it into a summer dress

Perfect for a shirt dress!

I haven't had a chance to sew up this fabric, but I plan to make the Kalle shirt dress with this fabric. It's the perfect fabric for this pattern. The color is gorgeous!

Cotton Oxford Shirting

I was very pleasantly pleased when this fabric arrived! The color is perfect for my husband’s shirt to compliment my outfit for our son’s casual wedding. It’s an easy fabric to work with and made up beautifully. My husband was happy with it, too! It was so good to find the perfect color in 100% cotton!

Great Fabric

I used this fabric for pocket bags and zip guards on three pairs of trousers, two made of 8 oz twill, one of 10 oz canvas. It works wonderfully for this purpose. It lies flat and slim under the thicker material, but is strong.
