Red Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard - 60in Wide, 30 yd

In this review the focus is on a large-format poly cotton broadcloth ideal for makers who need a soft, easy-care lining or apparel fabric. The EOVEA red fabric blends 35% cotton with 65% polyester, offering a comfortable hand and breathability while remaining durable and low-maintenance. For anyone sewing skirts, curtains, bedding, or using it as lining for pouches and garments, the main reason to buy is the balance of natural feel and practical performance across a full 30 yd roll and a wide 60in width.

Key Features

• 35% cotton, 65% polyester blend: Combines cotton softness and breathability with polyester durability and easy care for everyday sewing projects.
• 60in width: The extra-wide broadcloth lets you cut longer pattern pieces or minimize seams for curtains and bedding.
• Lightweight with good drape: Holds shape without weighing garments down, suitable for skirts, linings, and lightweight home decor.
• Sew-friendly surface: Smooth hand and easy-to-cut fabric that takes pins and stitches well for beginners and experienced sewists alike.
• Machine washable and wrinkle resistant: Designed for simple care-warm wash and tumble low or air dry keeps projects looking neat.
• Long 30 yd length: A generous yardage that suits multi-project crafters or larger sewing needs without frequent reordering.

Who It's For

The fabric is best for home sewers, small-batch makers, and hobbyists who need a soft, breathable broadcloth for apparel like skirts and lightweight workwear, or for interior items such as curtains and bedding. The wide 60in width and 30 yd length make it particularly attractive to those working on larger pieces or multiple projects.

It is less suited for anyone needing a heavyweight, structured textile or thick upholstery fabric; customers seeking substantial thickness should look for heavier weaves. Users who require specialty finishes or pure natural fiber content may prefer a different material.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, pleasant hand that works well as lining or next-to-skin apparel.
