Description

Calico – Lightweight

Discover the versatility of our Lightweight Calico, a 100% cotton, plain-woven fabric that’s as practical as it is eco-friendly. Its loomstate finish retains the natural characteristics of unbleached and unshrunk cotton, making it a popular choice for a wide range of crafting, dressmaking, and furnishing projects.

Product Details

  • Composition: 100% unbleached cotton, natural and breathable.
  • Design: Plain weave with a raw, natural look.
  • Width: 150 cm (60 inches) – perfect for larger or customized projects.
  • Weight: 123 gsm – lightweight yet durable for diverse applications.
  • Manufacturing: Woven construction for strength and stability.
  • Certification: Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful substances. Certificates for loomstate calicos are available in our certificates section.

Why Choose Lightweight Calico?

  • Eco-Friendly Fabric: With its natural, untreated finish, calico is a sustainable choice for conscientious creators.
  • Shrinkage Awareness: As a loomstate fabric, it shrinks around 10% on the first wash and 3% thereafter, making it ideal for pre-wash tailoring.
  • Incredibly Versatile: Suitable for dressmaking, craft projects, soft furnishings, and more, its lightweight yet sturdy nature makes it a go-to fabric for experimentation and prototyping.
  • Authentic Look and Feel: The unbleached cotton retains small seeds, giving it a rustic, organic appearance that’s perfect for natural or vintage-style projects.

Care Instructions

Keep your calico projects in excellent shape:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C.
  • Drying: Cool tumble dry recommended.
  • Shrinkage Note: Test a small piece first, and allow for shrinkage in your project planning.

Creative Possibilities

From pattern drafting and mock-ups to finished garments and home décor, Lightweight Calico is a versatile staple:

  • Use it for creating sewing patterns and prototypes.
  • Perfect for crafting tote bags, aprons, and other eco-friendly accessories.
  • Ideal for lining upholstery or making rustic-style curtains and tablecloths.

Happy with my purchases
The lightweight calico is a good weight for toiles. All Vlieseline interfacings are branded. All fabrics were folded and packed to ensure least possible creasing. Fast delivery. I'm happy. Thank you.

Good quality but faff to fold
Great quality however it’s stiffer than I expected. Ordered loads from ohsewcrafty and always impressed with the quality. I ordered 7 meters and it didn’t come folded selvage to selvage which was frustrating as it took me hours to fold properly ready to cut. I don’t think I’ve ever had fabric arrive like this before ? I wouldn’t have minded but it took a whole evening out of my schedule and I had to cut the fabric half way to make it doable (which means unnecessary fabric waste)
