Mustard Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard - 60in Wide Poly Cotton

In this review of the Mustard Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard, the bottom line is simple: sewists and home crafters who want an affordable, easy-care lining and lightweight apparel fabric will appreciate this poly cotton blend. The fabric is a 35% cotton, 65% polyester broadcloth that balances softness with durability, and its 60in width and 15 yd length make it useful for projects that need wider cuts without seams. Overall, the single biggest reason to buy is the usable blend that feels soft to the touch yet resists heavy wrinkling, which saves time in maintenance.

Key Features

• Poly cotton blend: The 35% cotton and 65% polyester mix gives the fabric a soft hand with increased durability and easier care than pure cotton.
• Wide 60in width: At 60in wide, it reduces seam joining for curtains, bedding, and wide apparel panels, speeding up larger projects.
• Lightweight broadcloth: The fabric drapes with a gentle flow and breathes well, making it suitable for skirts, lightweight workwear and linings.
• Sew friendly surface: A smooth finish makes cutting, pinning and stitching straightforward for beginners and experienced sewists.
• Easy care: Machine washable and tumble dry low or air dry, the fabric holds color and resists wrinkles when bleaches are avoided.
• 15 yd continuous length: The generous yardage supports multiple small projects or a single large project without frequent restocking.

Who It's For

The fabric works best for hobby sewists, small-batch makers, and home decorators who need a lightweight lining or apparel fabric that is easy to handle and maintain. Its 60in width and 15 yd length are convenient for curtain panels, bedding, pouches, skirts and simple garments where a breathable but structured fabric is desired.

Those who need heavier weight fabrics for outerwear, upholstery, or projects requiring substantial thickness should look elsewhere; several customers noted the fabric is quite thin, so it is not intended for heavy-duty or insulating uses.
