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

Our review of this turquoise poly cotton broadcloth focuses on everyday sewers and crafters who need a lightweight, easy-care fabric for linings, skirts, and tote bags. The bottom line: this 35% cotton / 65% polyester blend is worth considering for projects that require a soft hand, reliable color, and low-maintenance care. It is especially appealing to beginners because it is forgiving to handle and resists wrinkling, while offering a breathable feel that works well in warm-weather garments and home textiles.

Key Features

• Blend: The 35% cotton and 65% polyester mix gives a balance of natural softness and synthetic durability for longer-lasting items.
• Width and length: Sold by the yard on a 60in wide roll, it offers generous coverage for wider projects without sewing multiple panels.
• Lightweight and breathable: The fabric's light weight and air circulation make it comfortable for skirts and garments worn in warm conditions.
• Beginner friendly: The fabric handles predictably when cut and sewn, forgiving small mistakes and easing learning curves for new sewists.
• Easy care: Machine wash warm with mild detergent and tumble dry low or air dry to maintain color and texture with minimal effort.
• Versatile uses: Suitable for lining window treatments, home textile accents, resilient workwear components, and craft projects like tote bags.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for hobby sewists, beginners, and small-scale makers who want an affordable, multipurpose broadcloth for linings, lightweight apparel, and home projects. The 60in width simplifies cutting for wider items like skirts and curtains, and the turquoise color is well suited to bright, modern palettes.

Those needing a heavy-duty upholstery textile, thick winter outerwear, or a medium with pronounced structure should look elsewhere; several customers noted the material can be very thin depending on expectations. If you require heavyweight thickness or dense drape, choose a different fabric.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, smooth texture that feels comfortable against skin for linings and garments.
• Color accuracy received positive feedback, making it reliable for matching projects.
• Low-maintenance care and wrinkle resistance from the polyester content save time after repeated use.

Cons

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this fabric suitable for garment lining?
Yes. Its lightweight and smooth texture make it a suitable lining fabric for skirts, dresses, and some jackets, though use interfacing for added structure.

How should I care for this poly cotton broadcloth?
Machine wash in warm water with mild detergent, tumble dry on low or air dry, and avoid bleach to preserve color and fabric life.
