Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric 60in Wide Silver - 15 Yard roll

In this review we examine a 60in wide, 15 yard roll of poly cotton broadcloth that aims to be a versatile, sew-friendly fabric for apparel and home projects. The bottom line: this fabric is best for makers who need a lightweight, smooth material with easy care and consistent color; its biggest selling point is the 35% cotton, 65% polyester blend that balances softness with durability. The review looks at handling, drape, maintenance and realistic limits so you can decide if this silver broadcloth is right for your next curtain, lining or garment project.

Key Features

• Material blend: The 35% cotton and 65% polyester construction gives a soft hand with increased strength and easier care than pure cotton.
• Width and length: At 60in wide and sold in a 15 yard length, the fabric is convenient for larger home sewing projects like curtains or multiple garments without many seams.
• Lightweight drape: The broadcloth has a breathable, lightweight feel that holds gentle shape while allowing airflow for comfortable wearable pieces.
• Sew-friendly surface: A smooth finish makes cutting, pinning and stitching straightforward, useful for both beginners and experienced sewists.
• Easy care: Machine washable in warm water and tumble dry low or line dry, the fabric resists wrinkles for low-maintenance garments and decor.
• Color consistency: The silver tone photographed here presents as an even, usable shade for linings, bedding and neutral home accents.

Who It's For

The fabric suits hobby sewists and small-scale makers who need a lightweight broadcloth for garments like skirts, shirts, workwear, or interior projects such as curtains and bedding. The wide 60in width and 15 yard length make it particularly handy for people cutting multiple pattern pieces or covering windows with fewer seams.

It is less well suited to projects that require heavy weight or structure, such as upholstery or outerwear, because several customers noted the fabric is very thin. If you need a heavier canvas-like or tightly woven textile, consider a heavier weight cotton or a different blend.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft hand from the cotton content makes it pleasant for clothing and linings.
• Durable and low-maintenance due to polyester, so items wash and dry with minimal fuss.

• Smooth surface and consistent color make it easy to sew and good for visible linings or simple garments.

Cons

• Very lightweight construction may feel too thin for some uses and may require interfacing or lining for opacity or structure.
