Sorry, looks like we don't have enough of this product.
Talk about dreamy – this gorgeous midweight organic cotton checks all our "ideal fabric" boxes: crisp and easily pressed, cooperative when sewn, soft and comforting on the skin, and woven from organic, biodegradable cotton in a gorgeous range of desaturated colours. This cotton broadcloth is a fabric stash workhorse, ideal for a ton of applications and substantial enough to stand the test of time. A bit heavier in weight than our tumbled and textured cotton, it's ideal for pants, workwear, light jackets, skirts, tote bags and sturdy shirts and dresses. Fully opaque, it does not require a lining.

This fabric is made from organic cotton whose production reduces the amount of water pollution via soil erosion and nutrient leaching compared to conventional cotton production. Organic cotton production relies mainly on rainwater, and is often interplanted with other crops, so significantly reduces water use and improves biodiversity.


Organic Cotton
Long lifespan + No microplastics from washing
Biodegradable
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.
Long-Term Care
It’s important to wash and dry cotton to remove any potential shrinkage down the road. Machine wash in warm water and tumble dry on medium or hot. More delicate cottons like voile, double gauze or embroidered cottons should be washed by hand or on the delicate cycle.
Fabric Tips
Use a hot iron when pressing.

Easy to work with fabric. Colour true to photo. Nice weight for the fall jacket I sewed.
So soft
Beautiful fanric, easy to sew. Very slight blotching after washing, but was not visible on the finished garnment. Will buy again to make pants and shorts!
So happy with the quality of the broadcloth. Equally pleased that the colour was exactly what I wanted. Package arrived when promised, to Ireland. Excellent service. Thank you
Je l'avais choisi pour confectionner une chemise Jenna, et il s'est avéré être trop épais et rigide à mon goût. Le tissu est un charme à coudre, ceci dit!

The substantial organic cotton broadcloth is just what I was looking for! It’s the perfect weight for bottoms, light jackets, bags, coveralls, etc without the weight of heavier fabrics that, for me, can feel too restrictive and too hot!
Though I haven't gotten around to using my most recent purchase of Deep Teal Substantial Broad Cloth, I have used it several times in the past and it keeps me coming back for more.
It's easy to sew with and a wonderful bottom weight in an easy to wear range of colours.
I could not be happier with this fabric. We will order again. Thank you!
Perfect material, exactly as described and pictured. Pictures definitely do the colour justice, unlike some other fabric sellers!
The look and feel of this cotton is really lovely. I've cut out all the bits and pieces to make up my first pair of claire shorts and it has been a pleasure to work with.
Really love this fabric. Really great weight and quality.
Exactly the colour I was looking for (sage)
I made a pair of Nehlam trousers by Sew House seven. Even though this is an heavier weight fabric for the pattern they turned out beautiful and I wear them on repeat.
Core Fabrics has the best fabrics and this cotton broadcloth is not an execration. It’s substantial but also delicate. Beautiful color and easy to sew.
This fabric ticks off so many boxes for me: good sturdy bottom weight - but lighter than canvas ✅
Available an an array of colour that co-ordinator well with my wardrobe ✅
Lovely to sew ✅
Available in a wide width ✅
This is my third time ordering this substantial organic boardcloth. It's truly a fantastic fabric.
This fabric has such a nice hand and washed well. Although I have not cut it out with the Rika pants pattern yet (you know, squirrel brain!) I’m looking forward to wearing this creation!
I'm in Chile, so buying a fabric abroad is a luxury and it was worth it. The colour is just as you can see in the picture and it is a pleasure to feel the texture. I have just started sewing an overshirt for my husband with it and it is so easy to work with.
This fabric was perfect for the Pietra pants. I'm so happy with how they turned out. The perfect weight. It was easy to sew with. I'll be getting this fabric again.
The high gsm without being too stiff (like canvas or duck) was so hard to find, especially all organic cotton. I used mine to make a floor cushion and I keep getting complements on the fabric. It is SO soft and keeps cool. Would 100% recommend it; I have no doubt that it will last a long time.
This fabric makes a great pair of pants. I made the Coe Trousers from Daughter Judy and they’re my new favorite pair of pants.
