One of my favourite dressmaking fabrics for the colder season is brushed cotton, a 100% cotton fabric that is ideal for keeping you warm in the winter. There is nothing I like better than coming home from work, having a bath and putting my pyjamas on ready to cosy up in front of the television on a dark winter's night and brushed cotton Dress Fabric is a perfect material for making a pair of pyjamas. Brushed cotton is a cotton fabric that has been brushed to remove the lint and fibres to make it very soft. It feels very comfortable against the skin and is also good at keeping you warm. When I was younger, my parents often used to buy brushed cotton pyjamas for us at christmas and they were always lovely to wear and particularly durable as they can be washed at high temperatures and withstand a lot of washing which is just what you need for pyjamas. Here at Calico Laine we have a great selection of brushed cotton Dress Fabric in many different check patterns which make great nightwear. As well as being used for pyjamas this fabric can be used to back quilts and blankets which will keep you extra snug on the sofa. A new addition to our brushed cotton range is our selection of truella Dress Fabric. This material is a cotton, wool mix which again makes it a warmer fabric for the winter season. This can be used to make shirts and casual dresses and would be perfect for winter layering. At £12.99 per metre it is a high quality fabric and long lasting fabric that will be in your wardrobe for years. Available in a range of plain colours, this is a nice alternative to patterned brushed cotton Dress Fabric.
