Silver Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric 60in Wide - 7 Yards

Our review of this silver broadcloth fabric finds it best suited for sewists who want a lightweight, crisp material that is easy to handle and holds color well. The single biggest reason to buy is its blend of breathability and durability: at 80% polyester and 20% cotton the material stays cool, resists fading, and is simple to machine wash, making it a practical choice for apparel, bedding, and home projects.

Key Features

• Blend: The 80% polyester and 20% cotton mix delivers breathable softness while adding strength and durability for everyday wear and home use.
• Width and length: At 60in wide and supplied as a continuous 7 yard length, it suits large pattern pieces and home sewing projects without extra seams.
• Weight and drape: The roughly 100GSM lightweight construction gives a smooth, crisp drape that is easy to cut and sew for garments and bedding.
• Colorfastness: The premium 0.19mm thickness and finish resist fading so colors remain vibrant after machine washing with similar tones.
• Care: Machine washable and tumble dry low recommendations make upkeep straightforward for clothing and home textiles.

Who It's For

This fabric is a good match for hobby sewists, costume makers, and small-scale crafters who need an affordable, easy-to-sew broadcloth that handles well on a domestic sewing machine. Its 60in width and continuous 7 yard piece are convenient for dresses, shirts, skirts, curtains, and bedding projects where fewer seams are preferred.

Those seeking a heavy-duty upholstery textile or a very thick quilting cotton should look elsewhere, since this is a lightweight, crisp broadcloth rather than a heavyweight canvas or decorator-weight fabric. If substantial insulation or heavyweight structure is required, consider a thicker material.
