What is cotton lawn fabric?

Lawn is a fine, plain-weave cotton, lighter and smoother than quilting cotton. It is breathable, slightly sheer and presses crisply, which is why it is used for summer clothing and fine quilting.

Is it sheer enough to need a lining?

Yes, light lawn is semi-sheer, especially in pale prints. Line dresses, skirts and fitted tops, or use it where a little show-through is fine, such as loose blouses and craft projects.

What can I make with a 54-inch-wide cotton lawn?

Summer tops, dresses, skirts, children's clothes, quilting, backing and lining. The wide cut means fewer seams on larger pieces. It is too light for bags, upholstery and other heavy-duty items.

How should I wash and press it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or line dry. Press with a warm iron; lawn takes a crisp press well, but test on a scrap first to protect the print.

Unwashed cotton lawn can shrink, so prewash and dry the yardage before cutting. That also removes any sizing and softens the hand.

How does it compare with quilting cotton?

Lawn is finer, lighter and more breathable than quilting cotton, with a softer drape. Quilting cotton is heavier and more opaque, so it holds shape better for structured projects.

Our take on the Singer Cotton Lawn Fabric 54"

Singer Cotton Lawn is a 54-inch-wide, light cotton print fabric sold by the yard in multicolored floral designs. Lawn is a fine, plain-weave cotton that is crisp, breathable and semi-sheer, so it presses well and drapes softly. It suits quilters, garment sewers and crafters who want a wide, easy-handling cotton for summer tops, dresses, backing and lining. Against quilting cottons it is lighter and airier; against voile it is a touch more substantial and less see-through.
