Hunter Green Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard 60in Wide - 35/65 Poly

In this review of the hunter green broadcloth fabric, the bottom line is clear: this 35% cotton, 65% polyester blend is best for sewists who need a lightweight, breathable lining or garment fabric with easy care. The reviewer found the material to be soft to the touch, drape-ready for skirts and curtains, and simple to work with for beginners. While not thick, the fabric's color and smooth finish make it a practical choice for projects where a thin, stable broadcloth is acceptable and an attractive emerald green is desired.

Key Features

• Blend: The 35% cotton and 65% polyester mix gives a balance of natural softness and durable, easy-care performance for everyday use.
• Width: At 60in wide, the fabric provides extra coverage that reduces seams on wider projects like curtains and bedding panels.
• Weight and drape: Lightweight broadcloth offers a breathable feel and a gentle drape that works well for skirts, linings, and lightweight home decor.
• Sew-friendly finish: A smooth surface and soft hand make cutting, pinning, and stitching straightforward for both beginners and experienced makers.
• Easy care: Machine washable in warm water and low tumble dry or air-dryable, the fabric resists wrinkles when handled properly.
• Color: The hunter green presents a rich, emerald tone that performs well for seasonal decor and wardrobe accents.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for hobby sewists and crafters looking for a lightweight broadcloth for garment linings, breezy skirts, lightweight workwear, or decorative home projects like curtains and pillow backs. Its 60in width helps when cutting larger pieces and reduces the need for seams on wider items.

It is less suitable for projects that require medium to heavy weight fabric or significant structure, such as outerwear, heavy upholstery, or items that need substantial thickness. If a thicker or more opaque fabric is required, shoppers should consider heavier cotton blends or specialty upholstery textiles.
