Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard - 60in Wide Lime Green

In this review the Cotton Polyester Broadcloth by the yard is assessed for sewists and home sewers who need a lightweight, easy-to-handle fabric. The bottom line: this 80% polyester/20% cotton broadcloth excels as a crisp, breathable option for shirts, dresses and home decor because it balances softness with durability and resists fading through regular washing. It is especially useful for projects that require a smooth drape and easy cutting, and the 60in width and continuous yardage make it practical for larger patterns without seams.

Key Features

• Blend and feel: The 80% polyester and 20% cotton mix delivers a breathable softness from cotton while polyester adds strength and longevity for everyday wear and home use.
• Fabric weight and drape: At about 100GSM with a crisp drape, the fabric hangs cleanly for shirts and dresses without feeling heavy, making pattern handling straightforward.
• Wide width: The 60in width is convenient for cutting wide garments or home items like curtains and bedding with fewer seams and less waste.
• Colorfastness: The 0.19mm thickness and finishing resist fading so colors remain vibrant after machine washing and low tumble drying.
• Washability: Machine washable with similar colors and tumble dry low for easy care and reliable maintenance of the fabric over time.

Who It's For

The fabric suits hobby sewists, small-scale garment makers and home decorators who want a lightweight, wrinkle-resistant cotton blend that is easy to cut and sew. Its 60in width and continuous yard lengths (sold up to 50 yards) are ideal for people making shirts, skirts, dresses, bedding, curtains or craft projects that benefit from large, uninterrupted pieces.

Those seeking very heavy-duty upholstery cloth or a pure natural fiber like 100% cotton for high-heat ironing should look elsewhere; this blend prioritizes a crisp drape and durability from polyester rather than heavyweight texture or pure natural fiber properties.
