Muslin (sometimes referred to as Gauze) is a soft cotton fabric that has tightly spun yarn woven into an open construction. Our Muslin is double layer for extra snuggle and softness. The open weave allows the textile to fall and have a soft appearance. The two layers of the Muslin are sewn together with a loose stitch that has subtle visibility through the fabric, this is a characteristic of Muslin.

The open weave gives a soft texture to prints and produces lovely print results.

Each roll of fabric can have subtle variation in appearance and print translation. Natural fabrics may contain imperfections such as slubbing and yarn variation; These are characteristic of fibres derived from seeds and plants

 

CARE

Cold delicate machine wash individually or with like textiles, turn inside out to protect print. Do not soak, wring or bleach. Line dry in shade or flat. Iron on reverse on low cotton setting, can use steam.

Our care instructions are a general recommendation, depending on your print and product you may need to carry out your own testing.

Muslin can shrink up to 4% on the warp and weft of the textile

If you don't already have a sewing pattern in mind or know how much fabric you will need to sew up a garment or other project, here's a handy guide for a few basic sewing projects:

fabric width >> project type	42" or under / 105cm or less	48" - 52" / 120-130cm	54" - 60" / 135cm +
dress, sleeveless or short length	3m +	3m	2.5m+
+ long sleeves	1.5 m +	1m +	1m
midi dress, mid sleeves	4m+	4m	3.5m
maxi dress	5m +	4.5m +	4m
long pants/overalls	4m +	4m	3.5m +
standard cot sheet	2m	2m	1.8m
baby swaddle	1.5m	1.5m	1.5m
2 medium size cushion covers	1m	1m	1m
tote bag	1m	<1m	<1m

 

Note: These estimates are a rough guide only. If you're taller or shorter than average, you may need more or less fabric.

Adding extra skirt fullness or puff sleeves, wrap front detail or extra large pockets will require more fabric.

Allow for shrinkage when ordering any fabric.

Shrinkage estimates are provided in the fabric info above but will vary with your laundry & drying methods. 

I usually allow for at least 10% shrinkage when ordering yardage for my sewing projects. It's much better to over-estimate than underestimate how much fabric you will need.
