Babywear fabrics are delightful to sew for your beautiful infant in a very special time of their 1st year. We have carefully chosen some of our best products with comfort, texture and wearability in mind and linked them below so that you can find everything you need, all in one place.
For classic formal dress occasions some of our fabrics and lace trimmings are suited to become a family heirloom. Fabrics for everyday & casual outings can be found throughout our website with some great trims like ric-rac, pom-pom braid, bias bindings, piping, ribbons and more – all available under Braids & Trims
Lawn is a fine, slightly sheer lightweight cotton fabric with a semi-crisp feel to it. Our White Fine Cotton Lawn code is of superb quality and has a beautiful finish. This fabric is commonly used for infant wear, nightwear, lingerie, blouses cuffs & collars and even curtains. It is 120 gsm and an economical 140cm width. Very well priced.
Voile is a transparent plain weave fabric of cotton, wool, silk or a blend of fibres. This fabric is very light to touch.
Muslin is a thin plain 100% cotton weave made in various degrees of sheerness. It can be used for making cloth diaper covers swaddle cloths and other items. It may not be the fanciest fabric, but it’s breathable and easy to clean so a bit of dribble or food will not damage it.
Batiste is a fine sheer fabric of cotton or poly/cotton content. The weave makes the fabric lightweight and very soft to touch. It is comfortable to wear against the skin and is lovely for baby dresses and nightwear.
Terry towelling has a soft touch due to its absorbent nature. It is 100% Cotton and makes for a comfortable robe or wrap. We have found the rose colour to be a favourite for robes.
Liberty of London has beautiful fabrics that make lovely clothing. We have even had a couple of dresses made up by a dressmaker to showcase precisely this. These dresses are for sale (contact us for photo’s, website listing to come), and we have Liberty Patchwork packs for those who would like to create a quilt with Liberty of London. Each pack include 24 squares 33cm in size and instructions to make a single bed chevron quilt.
Please note that all of the above fabrics are machine washable in cold water. Please reach out to us for a sample of any of our fabrics. We are more than happy to post one out to you.
