This is a beautiful quality 100% cotton poplin with a classic polka dot print – smooth, crisp and soft enough to drape nicely, just like our yellow flower poplin. It has that reliable poplin structure without feeling stiff or cardboardy, which makes it lovely to sew and comfortable to wear.
At approx. 142cm / 56" wide, it’s a little wider than many standard craft/quilting poplins, so you can often squeeze more pattern pieces across the width. At around 110gsm, it sits in our very light–light weight band – perfect for dresses, shirts and children’s wear, as well as quilting and crafts.
We have three colourways to choose from: Blue, Hot Pink and White – classic, cheerful spots that work for adults and kids alike.
Each listing is for a 3 metre piece, which is a really useful length for full garments, matching sets or a mix of smaller projects.
