What is this fabric made of and how heavy is it?

It is 100% cotton duck at about 7.89 oz per square yard, a medium weight. That puts it between light quilting cotton and heavy canvas.

It is 54 inches wide, which is wide enough for most curtain panels and duvet covers with few seams.

What can I make with it?

Window treatments, bed skirts, duvet covers, pillow shams, accent pillows, slipcovers and light upholstery. The medium weight suits projects that need some body.

Should I pre-wash it before sewing?

Yes. Cotton duck can shrink, so wash and dry it as you plan to clean the finished item before cutting.

Can I check the color before buying?

Yes, small 3-inch by 3-inch samples are offered so you can verify the gray and off-white tones against your room.

Is it durable enough for a sofa?

It works for light upholstery and slipcovers, but it is not a heavy-duty canvas. For daily-use family seating, a backing or a heavier fabric is safer.

Our take on the Waverly Northern Lights Pebble Gray White Fabric

Waverly Northern Lights is a 100% cotton duck fabric, 54 inches wide and about 7.89 oz per square yard, screen printed with an allover gray and off-white pattern that reads almost like embroidery. The medium-weight cotton duck is sturdy enough for slipcovers and light upholstery yet workable for window treatments, duvet covers, bed skirts, shams and accent pillows. It suits sewists and home decorators who want a coordinated print across a room. Against lighter quilting cottons it holds shape better for upholstery; against heavier canvas it is easier to sew but less abrasion-resistant for high-traffic seating.
