Ivory Poly Cotton Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard - Lightweight 60in

Our review of the Ivory Barcelonetta poly cotton broadcloth finds it well suited for sewists who want a lightweight, easy-care fabric for linings, garments, and home textiles. The single biggest reason to buy is its balanced 35% cotton, 65% polyester blend, which delivers a soft hand like cotton plus polyester's wrinkle resistance and durability, making it a practical choice for projects that need a tidy appearance and low maintenance. This roll is especially convenient at 60in wide and sold by the yard for flexible cutting.

Key Features

• 35% Cotton, 65% Polyester: Provides a soft, comfortable feel while improving wrinkle resistance and longevity compared with pure cotton.
• Lightweight and Breathable: The fabric breathes well for comfortable garments and linings without feeling bulky.
• 60in Wide Roll: Extra width reduces seams for wider projects like curtains, linings, and tote bags.
• Beginner Friendly: The forgiving weave is easy to cut and sew, making it ideal for those new to garment construction.
• Easy Care: Machine wash warm and tumble dry low or air dry to maintain appearance and avoid shrinkage.

Who It's For

The Ivory poly cotton broadcloth is best for hobby sewists, crafters, and small-scale makers who need a versatile, economical fabric for lining, skirts, tote bags, lightweight blouses, and home projects. Its combination of cotton comfort and polyester durability makes it a practical pick for items that will be washed and used frequently.

Those seeking a very heavy or structured upholstery fabric or a pure natural fiber should look elsewhere, as this blend is lightweight and includes polyester rather than being 100 percent cotton or heavy canvas-style material.
