Made in Japan by Sevenberry, this beautiful Japanese cotton broadcloth features a delicate all-over floral print on a deep navy background. Petite pink and muted mustard flowers are surrounded by olive green leaves and tiny botanical details, creating a timeless print with a charming vintage-inspired feel.

Woven from 100% cotton, this lightweight 110 gsm broadcloth has a smooth, closely woven surface with no stretch. It is lighter and more versatile for garment sewing than a typical heavier quilting cotton, making it an excellent choice when you want the crispness and easy handling of woven cotton without too much weight or bulk.

The small-scale floral print is especially versatile for sewing because the motif works beautifully on both large and small pattern pieces. It can be used as the main fabric for an entire garment or as a contrasting detail for collars, cuffs, pockets, facings and other accents.

What Can You Sew With Japanese Cotton Broadcloth?

This lightweight Sevenberry cotton is a versatile choice for both garment sewing and creative sewing projects. Its woven structure makes it relatively easy to cut, press and sew, while its lightweight feel makes it comfortable for everyday clothing.

Recommended projects include:

• Button-up shirts and blouses
• Lightweight dresses and sundresses
• Gathered, pleated and A-line skirts
• Pyjamas and lightweight sleepwear
• Children's dresses, shirts and clothing
• Aprons
• Bandanas and scarves
• Fabric bags and lightweight accessories
• Quilting and patchwork
• Craft and home sewing projects

For garments that require significant fluidity or drape, a rayon or viscose fabric may be a better choice. This cotton broadcloth is best suited to sewing patterns that benefit from a lightweight woven fabric with gentle structure.
