Review: Great quality fabric for small projects - I bought this plain navy blue cotton to make some miniature overalls for a diorama, and it was perfect for the job. The fabric has a really nice feel and feels like high-quality 100% cotton, not thin or scratchy at all. It was very easy to work with, even at such a small scale, and didn't fray excessively. For the price, you get a decent amount of material that looks great once finished. Definitely a solid choice for crafting or dressmaking!
Review: Good value - Good quality, crisp and clean looking, bought it many times. Extra width too.Good value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabric is decent, but it was left at the wrong address
*by L***E on 13 June 2026*

Fabric is okay, not what I expected but usable for what I plan on using it for. It was left at a neighbour’s front door instead which did leave me confused at where it was, thankfully it was sorted.
