Sorry, looks like we don't have enough of this product.
We searched high and low for the ideal lightweight cotton poplin: something stable, easy to sew, and of course, sustainable. We're pleased as punch to announce our nominee for what may be the lightweight cotton of your dreams: this Oeko-Tex and BCI-certified, 100% cotton poplin. Deliciously soft with a slightly crisp drape, it has a smooth, silky hand. Perfect for all sorts of applications, you'll love sewing it up into shirts, shirtdresses, breathable pajamas, lightweight robes, loose fitting pants, and any application where you need a stable cotton - it's absolutely perfect for quilts and quilted jackets too! Fully opaque, it does not require a lining (though may be used as one!)

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.

I was so disappointed in this fabric. The color is lovely but it's very scratchy after being washed. Can't imagine wearing it all day. I regret the purchase.
Just cut this fabric out to make a dress shirt for my husband. I prewashed it and it came out nice with some shrinkage. It seems to be great quality. I can't wait to see it up, as it seems it will be pretty easy to sew and press.
This Lightweight Silky Poplin exudes quality. It is cool and smooth against your skin. It's easy to work with, and irons well. It worked very well for the button up shirt I used it for, but I could also see it used as a dress.
This poplin has a soft hand and is a dream to sew. I used it as a lining for an eyelet dress but as I was sewing it I was thinking it would also be perfect for a button down shirt. I’ll just have to buy more.
The poplin fabric is beautiful and the perfect color and weight for the clothes I’m sewing. I will definitely be buying more, especially since you have so many lovely colors.
