What is Cotton Poplin Fabric and How Can I Use It?

Popular with dressmakers, crafters and quilters, cotton poplin is a close weave, soft to touch, lightweight, natural and renewable fabric which offers a certain luxurious quality to your sewing projects.

Like most cotton fabrics, poplin is easy to sew and when used for dressmaking, it has a nice drape and being 100% cotton, is cool to wear. Being strong and durable, it is popular in children's clothing and is often printed with beautiful designs.

Our favourite cotton poplin design house is Rose & Hubble who produce great quality floral and children's printed fabrics.

Here is a selection of sewing projects our lovely customers have shared with us over the years, all made with cotton poplin fabrics purchased here at Fabric Love:
