Great prices on your favourite Home brands, and free delivery on eligible orders.

## Features

- ✅ ESSENTIAL FOR DRESSMAKING & MOCK-UPS: This 100% natural, unbleached calico is the ultimate 'mock-up' and toile fabric. At a generous 150cm (60") width, it is perfect for pattern testing, fashion design practice, and minimizing seams on your larger garment projects.
- ✅ PERFECT 145GSM MEDIUM WEIGHT: Designed with a strong, straight weave, our 145GSM cotton offers the ideal balance—substantial enough to mimic real garment drape, yet lightweight enough for smooth needle penetration on both domestic and industrial sewing machines without snagging.
- ✅ VERSATILE BLANK CANVAS FOR CRAFTS: Beyond fashion, this plain-woven textile is brilliant for home crafts. The natural cotton fibres absorb dye beautifully and provide a sturdy, non-stretch base for punch needle work, embroidery, curtain linings, tote bags, and upholstery priming.
- ✅ NATURAL, SAFE & CONTINUOUS CUTS: Certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, our eco-friendly, hypoallergenic fabric is free from harsh bleaching chemicals and odours. Need more than 1 metre? Simply order multiple quantities and we will send it as one continuous, uncut roll directly from our UK warehouse.
- ✅ PRO-SEWING CARE NOTE: Because this is a raw, unprocessed, and un-preshrunk natural cotton, minor shrinkage is totally normal during the first wash. For the most accurate pattern cutting and sizing, we highly recommend pre-washing at 30 degrees and tumble drying on a low heat before you start your project!
