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

In this review the Barcelonetta poly cotton broadcloth is assessed as an affordable, beginner-friendly fabric for everyday sewing projects. The biggest reason to buy is its blend of 35% cotton and 65% polyester, which delivers a soft hand with improved wrinkle resistance and easy care, making it a practical choice for linings, lightweight apparel and home textile use. Reviewers consistently note accurate color and a smooth texture, so this fabric suits makers who want dependable, versatile material by the yard.

Key Features

• Blend: The 35% cotton and 65% polyester mix balances natural softness with added durability and wrinkle resistance for easier garment care.
• Width: At 60in wide, the roll gives ample cutting width for skirts, tote bags, and wide home textile panels with fewer seams.
• Lightweight and breathable: The fabric has a light feel and good air circulation so it works well for linings and warm-weather garments.
• Beginner friendly: The poly cotton construction is forgiving to handle, making it suitable for sewists learning seams, hems, and simple patterns.
• Easy care: Machine wash warm and tumble dry low or air dry for low-maintenance longevity, while avoiding bleach preserves color.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for hobby sewists, crafters, and small-scale makers who need an economical, multipurpose broadcloth for linings, light apparel, tote bags, and some home textile projects. Its 60in width and lightweight hand make it especially useful when wider yardage reduces seams and simplifies cutting layout.

Less suitable are projects that require heavyweight structure, insulation, or very high-end natural fiber performance; anyone needing a thick canvas, heavy upholstery textile, or pure all-cotton hand should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, smooth texture that feels comfortable next to skin and photographs true to the listed color.
• Durable and wrinkle resistant compared with pure cotton thanks to the polyester content.
• Large 60in width and sold by the yard make it convenient for wider projects with minimal seams.
• Easy-care instructions and beginner-friendly handling reduce time and frustration for simple sewing tasks.

Cons

• Thickness received mixed feedback; some users find it quite thin for structured garments or heavier uses.
• Not a replacement for heavyweight or specialty fibers where natural-only content or dense weave is required.
