100% Soft Cotton Canvas ~ 'Folk Floral'
- 100% Cotton
- 138cm wide

You loved the soft canvas collection of prints that I introduced last year, and I think you'll love the three new options. This soft canvas cotton is perfect for summer weight pants, shorts, vests, loose jackets, overalls and jumpsuits, A-line or straight skirts, summer dresses and simple tops. Don't let the 'canvas' in the product title mislead you. These are only around 225gsm, and they have a lovely soft handle and some nice drape (in rounded folds, away from the body). You wouldn't want a lot of gathering with this cloth, but some pleats would work well. This cloth is also perfect for bag-making due the substantial weight and tight weave.
'Folk Floral' ~ This is a stunning, sophisticated colour palette with a bronzy tan background, lilac blooms, and deep chocolate foliage. The trio of colours is inspired and looks fantastic in this simple floral design. If you're looking for a cool coordinating fabric, check out Atelier Brunette's Gabardine Light in 'Bubble Gum'. It's not exact but it's close. They look great together. Of course, this would also be wonderful with white, blue denims and chocolate.
