Bright Orange Cotton Drill – 3 Metre Piece (148cm / 58" Wide)

This is a bold bright orange 100% cotton drill, woven in a classic twill structure that gives the fabric strength, durability and a subtle diagonal texture.

Cotton drill is a practical, hard-wearing fabric that still sews nicely and softens with washing and wear. It has enough body to hold structure, making it ideal for garments and projects where you want something more substantial than lightweight cotton.

At 148cm / 58" wide, it gives a generous cutting width for clothing, workwear-style garments and structured sewing projects.

Each listing is for a 3 metre piece, which is a useful length for trousers, skirts, jackets or multiple smaller projects.
