What Can You Do with This Amount? (Project Ideas):

• Holiday garlands and flags: Cut several triangular or rectangular shapes for flags from a single piece of fabric. Use the 11 colors to create a colorful garland (for Christmas, a birthday, or a child’s room), strung or sewn onto a ribbon or twine.
• Patches and Appliqués: The size is sufficient for cutting out large patches for the knees of jeans, the elbows of jackets, or colorful motifs for fabric bags and backpacks.
• Dolls and fabric toys: One 17 x 20 cm piece is enough for a small doll outfit, shorts, or small soft figures and animals.
• Patchwork and quilling blocks: Several standard patchwork squares can be cut from a single sheet (for example, four 8 x 8 cm squares or hexagons for English patchwork).
• Small accessories: The size is sufficient for a zippered coin purse, small pencil cases, card holders, hair ties (scrunchies), and coasters.
• Scrapbooking and covers: The pieces are perfect for covering small notebooks, making fabric cards, bookmarks, and ribbons.

What Is Fabric?

• Weight: 135 g/m² is a standard weight for smooth cotton fabric (similar to fabric used for patchwork or lightweight shirts). The fabric is soft, lightweight, and non-stretch. It cuts easily with both standard sewing scissors and a rotary cutter.
• Edges: The fabric sheets have raw, unhemmed edges, ready for immediate cutting. There are loose threads at the edges that fray slightly when rubbed, as is typical for any woven cotton fabric before finishing.
• Colors: The hues are rich and vibrant. The small size of the pieces allows for a combination of many colors in a single project without leaving excess fabric.

Work Conduct

• Shrinkage during washing: Like pure cotton, the fabric reacts to hot water and shrinks slightly (usually about 3–5%). For projects that will be washed later (e.g., doll clothes, pillowcases, or patchwork quilts), a preliminary rinse or steaming with a steam iron before cutting will stabilize the dimensions.
• Ironing: It irons quickly at a high temperature setting for cotton. Creases from rolling the fabric into a roll disappear with the first pass of the iron, especially if a little steam is used.
• Cutting small pieces: The fabric stays straight. To cut out very small appliqué pieces, fusing the fabric to a thin interfacing or heat-activated adhesive backing on the reverse side prevents the edges from fraying.
• Glueing and fabric paints: The surface absorbs fabric paints, markers and fabric adhesives. Since there are no synthetic additives, fabric adhesives soak evenly into the fibers and do not leave hard, brittle spots.
