New To Cotton Crepe?

Cotton crepe combines the breathability and ease of sewing associated with cotton with a subtle textured finish that adds character and movement to finished projects.

It is comfortable to wear, drapes beautifully and is suitable for dressmaking, quilting, patchwork, accessories and craft projects.

Cotton crepe offers a slightly softer, more fluid feel than standard cotton prints while remaining easy to work with for sewists of all experience levels.
