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.

Light yet luxurious

This is becoming a go-to fabric for me: it's so smooth and light, but it holds its shape and presses beautifully. I've made a Jenna shirt and a Zelda skirt, and both turned out gorgeous!

Lining my dress

The fabric is wonderful. It was a joy to cut out my dress pattern and it is sewing up very nicely. The dress should be ready to have the lining put in today, so I can’t say how it will look when complete, but I’m sure it will be great.

Beautiful

Virtually every fabric I’ve purchased from Core Fabrics has been beautiful and this poplin was no exception. It’s incredibly smooth with a wonderful drape and feels fantastic to wear. I made a dress from Vogue 1672 which came out gorgeous - the poplin combined with a Core Fabrics Cupro/Bembo lining feels incredibly luxe. Thank you to the Core Fabrics team for sourcing these wonderful fabrics and all they do in support of the sewing community.

Beautiful Light Weight Fabric

I purchased the light weight poplin fabric to make the Core Crew vintage blouse pattern of the month. It was a dream to work with. So far I am loving my purchases from Core fabrics and patterns. I am looking forward to May’s pattern.

Not "silky" at all!

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.

Great Quality

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.

Luxuriant

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.

Silky Cotton Poplin

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.

Beautiful color

I am still thinking about what to use this for. I have as going to use it for pants but not sure. It is firmer then what I am use to using.

Light Silky Cotton Poplin

I bought all the colors available. They are bright in colors and the softness are incredible. Not sheer but not harder to my purpose of shirt in different colors and statements.
