Bottomweight doesn't have to be synonymous with boring! This gorgeous organic cotton twill in a selection of oh-so-springy shades is a breath of fresh air, made with low-impact dyeing methods and 100% biodegradable fibre. While it's as crisp as you'd want a twill to be, at 7 oz it's a fantastic weight for transitional seasons, and versatile enough for a variety of garments from trousers and skirts to jackets and structured workwear (consider waxing it for a water-resistant finish!) Fully opaque, it does not require a lining.

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 used the navy colourway (which is accurate to the photos) to make a Jack Tar Bag by Merchant and Mills, and it turned out exactly as hoped. The fabric feels sturdy and high quality, but not too heavy. It was easy to work with too.
Great product, lovingly packaged
Using this fabric I made a Serpentine Hat by Elbe Textiles. I lined it to match my dress, a Winston Shift using Core Fabrics Watercolor Floral Print, a Cotton Lawn. It was the perfect outfit for a bridal shower for my soon to be daughter-in-law! Best of all, I have enough fabric to make a bag out of it later this summer.
Core Fabrics is my place to go for high quality fabrics. Excellent prices and even better customer service.
Gorgeous! This fabric has such a pretty rose colour. It is crisp but not stiff, a good weight for a chore jacket or structured winter dress. All the fabric comes with fiber contents & care instructions, a greatly appreciate and thoughtful inclusion. I also love that fabric listings have thread match, zipper colour and interfacing suggestions which makes shopping online so much easier. Thank you Heather, Tereka & team!
