Sandwashed Cupro - Black

This material shredded along the selvage on the first wash in the handwash cycle, leaving large ragged holes. When I emailed Core, they let me know this is typical of the fabric due to how it is produced and offered a 20% refund.

Frankly, I’m appalled that they would continue to stock and sell a material they know to be low quality - and for such a premium price!

Based on this experience, I have very low trust for their quality control.

the Sandwashed Tencel Lyocell Vscose came with torn edges and has a waxy feel. It was the last 1.5 meters they had, but if it's damaged or below standard due to being end of the roll, you'd think they'd offer a discount or at least warn people. quite displeased with this. The Sandwashed Cupro is beautiful and in great condition.
They took 7 days to ship the order. In total I waited 3 weeks for it to arrive.
This will be the last time I order from Core Fabrics.

Looks just like sand washed silk, but has more body. It has lovely drape and is super comfy to wear.

Sandwashed Cupro - Black

Ce tissu d’une douceur incroyable est un plaisir à coudre et à porter, donne une sensation de fraîcheur sur la peau!

Sandwashed Cupro - Leaf Green

This fabric came with a lot of flaws/dropped stitches and holes in the selvages. I havent seen this before in all my years of buying fabric. In addition to serging the raw edges before prewashing, I also sewed a line of stitching down each selvage to the inside of the flaws prior to prewashing. They did not spread or get worse after washing, and this fabric washed beautifully. I am a little concerned that I may have gotten a bad piece because most of the other reviews are so positive. Hopefully it sews up ok!

J'apprécie la douceur de ce tissu et son aspect chatoyant. Un défi à coudre puisqu'il a tendance à glisser.

Made my first pillowcase with this fabric! It rocks!

The texture of this fabric is a dream!! Silky, suedey, and drapey! I can't wait to wear it! It is more finicky than cotton or linen, but I would definitely order it again. Love the summer color palette as well!

Irons ok, though I used a low setting and the shiny texture dulls after ironing. Seems to need featherweight interfacing. Also don't pull too much at seams, I can see little lines from the punctures where I had pulled a little too tightly when pressing. It is not too difficult to work with, just a little shifty and maybe warps it's shape a little after it's been handled.

Love this fabric I wish there were more colors

Cupro is a good substitute for silk in some instances. I’ve made a couple of blouse with which I am pleased. The best part about the fabric is that it’s machine washable and can be placed in a dryer resulting in a fairly wrinkle-free garment.

I love the colour of this pretty fabric. Now that I made a dress with it I have some mixed feelings. It does look gorgeous however it’s not that easy to sew fue to it stickiness factor, it doesn’t move smoothly under the needle. Another point is that it’s extremely wrinkly, as I finished ironing the dress, new wrinkles appeared out of nowhere even before I put it on, just from handling the fabric. Any tips of keeping it less wrinkly would be appreciated.

Bought this to make a dress for one of my daughters for family pictures! Can’t wait to sew with it!

This IS lovely fabric but, I found it a little tricky to work with. I'm not a beginner; I'd call myself intermediate. I'm rating this four instead of five because after reading so many glowing reviews I decided I had to have this fabric, but I also want to let potential buyers know what to expect. (After working with it I went back and re-read the reviews and discovered many of the reviewers had not actually sewn it up yet.) It is slippery- no problem. I straightened the grain and pinned the fabric to paper to cut out. It wrinkles easily but irons well - with a press cloth and mid temp iron. It has no ease what so ever, so attaching the collar on the shirt I made was tedious. I think if you choose your pattern wisely and you are patient and meticulous you'll be rewarded with a lovely garment. I made the Style Arc Monty shirt but I don't think it was the best pairing; the simpler the pattern the better. I see they recommend the CC Amy jumpsuit which would be a great choice

Deep Ocean is such a gorgeous color! The fabric is soft and drapes beautifully. Can't wait to finish the blouse I have planned for it.

Cupro is a dream to sew with and comfortable to wear. I made a bias skirt and I love it!

I made my first Amy jumpsuit in the ink colorway and am in love. I wore it to a wedding and received lots of compliments. It was much easier to sew than I thought it would be since it isn’t as slippery as silk. I did use tissue paper on the most visible seams to prevent marks from my machines feed dogs. I love the sueded texture and the swish. Super happy with this fabric!

This fabric is so soft and supple! The only negative I have is that it gets a bit wrinkly, but it’s fast to iron and I like the texture. The colors are beautifully rich but almost “dusty”. I paired the magenta and papaya for a color blocked skirt. It’s so comfy and cute

Vibrant color, excellent drape. A little slippery to work with and doesn’t like a hot iron, but the end result is stunning. I want it in every color!

I’ve loved Cupro since I learned about it in design school, so when I was selecting a lining fabric for my wedding dress it was a no-brainer! So happy to have found this company; not only is it super high quality and great to work with but the color was perfect.

Feels very luxurious! Has a soft, cool touch. Very fluid with a beautiful drape.
But it is quite difficult to sew as it is very slippery

I originally bought just enough for a sweet summer top. It was so lovely when it arrived I went to so sew it immediately. It's not only gorgeous, but great to work with too. Bought more and made tank with with copper and a dress up, dress down crop and pants with the black. Wonderful to sew, wonderful to wear, and it looks so special on. People keep wanting to buy my black outfit, but it's all mine :)

I agree with the previous reviewer- this is truly the most gorgeous fabric I have ever seen/handled. I have also not started working with it yet- it felt so precious to me. I want to practice a bit more on other fabrics before using this one. I plan on making a skirt with it, and I'm sure it will be stunning.

Honestly, this might be the most beautiful fabric I’ve ever purchased. It a lovely depth of green, lightweight, and opaque. I haven’t cut into it yet but am planning to make a dress out of it.

A sewing pal of mine ordered this and I was enamoured from my first touch! As soon as it came back in stock I ordered some for myself. It’s got gorgeous, weighty, fluid drape and I am going to struggle to decide what to make with it!
