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!

It was left at a neighbour’s front door instead which did leave me confused at where it was, thankfully it was sorted. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/247912177-plain-red-100-cotton-fabric-for-quilting-sewing-dressmaking-arts](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/247912177-plain-red-100-cotton-fabric-for-quilting-sewing-dressmaking-arts) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
