Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard - Black 60in Wide, 15

In this review of the EOVEA Cotton Polyester Broadcloth, the bottom line is simple: sewists and home sew decorators who need a soft, lightweight, easy-care lining or garment fabric will appreciate this material. The reviewer found the 35% cotton / 65% polyester blend strikes a practical balance between breathability and durability, making it well suited for lining pouches, lightweight skirts, curtains, and bedding details. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a smooth, sew-friendly surface and easy maintenance, especially when you need a wide 60in fabric in a deep black that holds shape.

Key Features

• Blend: The 35% cotton and 65% polyester mix gives a soft, breathable hand while adding polyester durability for everyday use.
• Width and length: At 60in wide and sold as a 15 yd cut, this fabric is convenient for larger projects and reduces seams on wide panels.
• Broadcloth drape: Lightweight with a balanced drape, it flows enough for skirts yet keeps structure for linings and light curtains.
• Sew-friendly surface: The smooth finish is easy to cut, pin and stitch, which helps both beginners and experienced sewists work faster.
• Easy care: Machine washable in warm water and safe to tumble dry low or air-dry, it resists wrinkles for low-maintenance garments and home textiles.
• Color payoff: The black color is deep and consistent, useful when a solid, opaque look is required for lining or visible panels.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for home sewists, small-batch makers, and hobbyists who want a reliable broadcloth for lining, skirts, light workwear, pillowcases, or curtains. The 60in width and 15 yd length make it particularly useful for projects that benefit from wider cuts, like full curtains or multiple garment pieces from a single length.

Those seeking heavy upholstery fabric, thick winter outerwear, or midweight shirting with substantial body should look elsewhere; customers noted the fabric is fairly thin, so it performs best where a lightweight, breathable material is desired rather than a hefty, insulating textile.

Pros & Cons
