Royal Blue Cotton Drill – 152cm / 60"

A proper heavyweight cotton drill in a vivid royal blue shade with a durable woven twill construction and a slightly coarse canvas-like texture.

This is a strong, structured cotton fabric with real body to it — the kind of fabric that feels substantial in the hand and is ideal for hard-wearing sewing projects.

Compared to lighter cotton drills, this one has a firmer handle and more structure, making it especially suitable for bags, workwear, upholstery-style sewing and projects where durability matters.
