Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard - Light Yellow 60in

In this review of the Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric by the yard, the bottom line is simple: sewists and home sewers who need a lightweight, easy-to-handle fabric for apparel and home projects will appreciate this cloth for its blend of softness and durability. The reviewer found the material especially well suited to shirts, dresses and bedding where a crisp drape and reliable color retention matter most. Its combination of 80% polyester and 20% cotton gives a breathable feel with wash-friendly performance, making it a practical choice for repeat-use garments and decor items.

Key Features

• Blend: The 80% polyester and 20% cotton mix provides strength and breathability so finished garments feel comfortable yet hold their shape.
• Width: At 60in wide the fabric is wide enough for cutting across the grain for shirts, skirts or wide curtains without many seams.
• Weight and drape: The 100 GSM weight and crisp drape makes it easy to sew and produces clean lines in tops, dresses and bedding.
• Durability: The 0.19mm thickness resists fading and stands up to machine washing when laundered with similar colors and tumbled low.
• Versatility: Suitable for apparel, curtains, quilts, aprons and light upholstery so crafters can use one cloth across many project types.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at hobby sewists, small clothing makers, and home decorators who want a reliable, lightweight broadcloth that is easy to cut, sew and launder. If you make shirts, blouses, light dresses, pillowcases or curtains and value a crisp finish and colorfast results, this fabric fits well.

Those who need heavy-duty upholstery, thermal curtains, or very thick quilt batting should look elsewhere because this broadcloth is lightweight and tailored for garments and light home use rather than heavy structural projects.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fabric quality with a soft hand and a smooth, slightly crisp drape that makes construction straightforward.
• Color holds up well to washing thanks to the fabric's fade resistance and polyester content.
• Wide 60in width reduces the need for seams on larger items and arrives in a continuous piece for long runs.

Cons

• Some users may find the fabric very thin for certain uses, so it may require lining or interfacing for structure.

Specifications
