With a fine, tight weave and smooth surface, this fabric is a dream to sew. Similar to muslin and functionally interchangable, you'll reach for it for dresses, shirts, blouses, aprons, sportswear, children's clothing, tablecloths, pillowshams, sheets, and comforter covers. It wears and washes beautifully as well. The occasional speck from cotton's natural variety adds visual interest.
