Swirly Lines Pink Quilting Weight 100% Cotton
A soft light pink base with darker pink swirling lines gives this quilting cotton a subtle, dreamy texture that plays beautifully in quilts and structured dressmaking. At 155 gsm and 115 cm / 45" wide, it presses crisply, cuts cleanly, and is a joy to sew—perfect for quilts, accessories, pyjamas, children’s wear, and woven garments that don’t rely on drape.

Pattern pairings from our shop (photographed)
Lyra Dress (Tilly and the Buttons)- shirt-dress style works well with a crisp cotton. Consider adding a light lining or slip especially if wearing with tights, ask me how I know!
Ettle Dress (Little Rosy Cheeks)- perfect match for kids’ woven dresses
Carolyn Pajamas (Closet Core Patterns)- classic PJs in breathable cotton
Esti Top & Trousers (Tilly and the Buttons)- top works nicely; trousers best as casual, unlined cotton for a structured look
Yardage note: At 115 cm width, add extra length compared to 140–150 cm wide fabrics—especially for gathered skirts, long sleeves, and matching prints. I’m happy to help you calculate meterage for your size/view.
How to sew (quick guide)
Needles: Universal 70/10–80/12
Thread: Quality thread (e.g., Gütermann)
Pressing: Medium heat with steam; this cotton loves a clapper for crisp seams
Finishes: Overlock, zigzag, or pinked + stitched; French seams for a tidy inside finish
Care
Pre-wash (20–40°C) before cutting to minimise shrinkage
Wash inside-out with similar colours; line dry or low tumble - I tend to do both. I start the prewashed fabric in the tumble dryer for 10-20 minutes then finish on the washing line
Light steam on reverse
Do not Dry Clean
