For the girls, we have a number of beautiful cotton Dressmaking Fabrics in our Rose and Hubble range that would be perfect for making a floral dress for the summer, a pair of shorts or skirt. These fabrics are 100% cotton which is ideal for children as it can be easily washed and ironed, a must for children's clothing. If you are new to making clothing, this cotton Dressmaking fabric is particularly easy to work with as it cuts easily, does not fray badly and does not move too much when you are working with it. Partnered with our dress net, you could also create a party dress that would look exquisite at any special occasion such as a wedding or christening.
As well as floral prints in this range, the 100% cotton Dressmaking fabric is available in spots, stripes and stars which can be used for both boys or girls. These are always very popular with older children and teenagers and can be used to make accessories such as bags and phone cases as well as clothes.
