Quilting Cotton, Not Just for Quilts. “That design is perfect, too bad it's quilting cotton” is a phrase of the past. Make modern, fun clothing and accessories out of whichever quilting cotton you want, just follow a few easy steps! - Keep it simple - look for straight forward patterns that don't need a ton of drape
- Pre-wash for a softer finished product
- Make sure you have enough fabric, most QC is only 112cm (44") wide
- Reduce bulk where possible by using lightweight cotton (i.e. lawn) for facings, linings, plackets, etc.
Still not convinced? Try one of our surefire pattern recommendations: - Willis & Riley Tops from Seamwork
- Fairfield Button-up from Thread Theory - works great for short sleeves
- Trillium Dress from Made by Rae
- Kindling from Tauko No. 8
- Hovea from Megan Nielsen
- Tamarack from Grainline
- Firefly Tote from Noodlehead
- Sam Apron from Helen's Closet - free pattern
