A bright and cheerful 40s cotton poplin printed with a bold folk-inspired floral pattern on a deep teal ground. The design features orange, cream, pink, green, and yellow motifs with a slightly retro, hand-drawn feeling — playful, graphic, and full of energy.
This is a regular cotton poplin, not a silky or extra-smooth lawn. It has a natural cotton hand with a crisp, structured feel. At around 160 gsm, it has enough body for garments that need a bit of shape, while still being comfortable for everyday sewing.
The colors are vivid and happy, making this a good choice for statement shirts, boxy tops, gathered skirts, apron-style dresses, children’s clothing, tote bags, quilting accents, or home sewing projects. It is especially nice if you want a cotton fabric that feels lively and graphic rather than soft and delicate.
