Pico Textiles 3 Yards Bolt Burgundy Poly Cotton Twill Fabric - Durable

In this review of Pico Textiles poly cotton twill fabric, the bottom line is simple: this 65% polyester / 35% cotton blend is best for makers who need a durable, medium-weight material that still feels comfortable to sew and wear. The reviewer found the 60in width and bolted 3-yard sections convenient for tailoring larger pieces, and the fabric's durability and color consistency are the single biggest reasons to choose it for pants, jackets, upholstery, or uniforms.

Key Features

• Fiber mix: The 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend delivers a balance of strength and comfort that stands up to regular use.
• Width and format: At 60in wide and sold in 3 yard bolt sections, the fabric works well for wide garments and reduces seams on larger projects.
• Medium-weight twill: The twill weave gives structure suitable for tailored pants, jackets, and work uniforms while remaining manageable on a home sewing machine.
• Versatile uses: Beyond apparel, the fabric proved useful for upholstery, tote bags, and curtains where a sturdy, attractive cloth is required.
• Easy care: The blend washes with minimal fuss and retains softness and strength, making it practical for everyday items.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at hobby sewists, small-batch makers, and anyone repairing or reupholstering household items who needs a dependable, medium-weight cloth. Tailors making women's suits, makers producing uniforms, and craft sewers who do embroidered patches will appreciate the fabric's stability and color match.

Those seeking very lightweight summer fabrics, high-stretch activewear, or pure natural fibers should look elsewhere, as this product is a polyester-cotton twill built for durability and structure rather than extreme breathability or stretch.
