Ivory Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric 60in Wide - 50 Yard Roll

In this review the focus is on the ivory 60in wide broadcloth from EOVEA, a 35% cotton / 65% polyester blend sold by the yard in a 50 yard roll. The bottom line: this fabric is best for sewists and home crafters who want an easy-care, soft lining or lightweight apparel fabric with predictable drape. The reviewer found it pleasant to handle, breathable enough for all-season use, and especially useful where a smooth, sew-friendly surface and low-maintenance laundering matter most.

Key Features

• Blend and feel: The 35% cotton, 65% polyester mix gives a soft hand with added durability, combining natural breathability with easy-care polyester benefits.
• Width and length: At 60in wide and sold in a 50 yard roll, the fabric suits large projects like curtains or multiple garment panels without awkward seams.
• Broadcloth drape: Lightweight broadcloth offers a smooth surface and modest drape so skirts, linings, and bedding keep shape without feeling heavy.
• Sew-friendly surface: A smooth finish makes cutting, pinning, and stitching straightforward for beginners and experienced sewists alike.
• Easy care: Machine washable in warm water and suitable for low tumble dry or air drying, helping creations stay neat with minimal effort.
• Color consistency: The ivory tone is described by users as true and reliable, useful for linings and neutral home projects.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for hobby sewists, small-scale makers, and home decorators who need a soft, breathable broadcloth for items like breezy skirts, lightweight workwear, curtains, or bedding. The 60in width and 50 yard quantity make it convenient for large projects or small production runs where consistent color and texture are important.

It is less suitable for projects that require heavyweight or highly opaque material; customers noted the fabric is on the thin side, so anyone needing a thick, insulating textile or heavy-duty upholstery should look for a heavier-weight alternative.

Pros & Cons

Pros
