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

Wash this cotton by hand or machine in warm water, tumble dry on medium or hot, and do not bleach.

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.

Awesome Company

I was looking for a certain Color fabric to make some napkins for my daughter - googled and found Core Fabrics a Canadian company! Ordered - received - fabric and notions were as described - loved the extras on fabric care - will definitely order again

High Quality

This is lovely fabric!
You can immediately feel the difference in quality compared to other cotton fabrics, it has a definite artisanal feel to it.
It washes up really well, with little crinkles on its textured surface.
I bought the Ochre Coffee Bean but now I want all the colours!

Rich colour

I used my batik fabric to make a jumpsuit and I’ve gotten tons of positive feedback on it. As well as the beautiful colour, the fabric has substantial weight and hangs well.

Perfect for culottes

While I haven't yet stitched up this fabric, I am looking forward to sewing up these culottes for an upcoming cruise. Thanks for providing such quality fabric and the color represented online is the same as the fabric 1
Thanks for providing such great quality at reasonable prices!

a dream

after having done a couple of projects with slippery, slinky viscose-y fabrics, this batik was an absolute dream to work with (so easy to cut and minimal pinning). Lovely and crisp, yet soft too. I think it'll get better with multiple washings. I made the Megan Nielsen Durban jumpsuit in view B, which was exactly what this pattern called for. Such a fresh blue/white pattern - loooove how it turned out. I love the idea of supporting authentic artisans. I'll be wearing this a lot this summer!
