Made in Japan by Sevenberry, this 100% cotton twill features crisp white polka dots set against rich red, navy or black backgrounds. The classic dot motif gives the fabric a playful, retro-inspired look, while its substantial twill construction makes it an exceptionally versatile choice for garments, accessories and home sewing projects.

Woven from 20s cotton yarn, this fabric has the distinctive diagonal weave of twill, giving it more body and durability than a lightweight cotton broadcloth or poplin. At 200 gsm / 5.90 oz/yd², it sits comfortably in the medium-weight category with enough structure to hold its shape while remaining suitable for a wide range of apparel projects.

The evenly spaced white polka dots create a timeless pattern that works beautifully for both statement pieces and smaller accents. Choose red for a bold vintage-inspired look, navy for a classic and versatile option, or black for a striking high-contrast finish.

Its stable woven construction makes it easy to cut, press and sew, making it a great choice for a wide range of projects.

• Pre-wash before cutting and sewing
• Machine wash cold or warm with similar colours
• Use a mild detergent
• Tumble dry low or hang to dry
• Iron on a cotton setting as needed
• For dark colours, wash inside out and avoid excessive heat to help preserve the colour

Pre-washing is recommended before cutting and sewing. 

Is this cotton twill suitable for pants and jackets?
Yes. At 200 gsm, this fabric has considerably more body than lightweight shirting cotton and is well suited to lighter structured pants, skirts, chore-style jackets, overshirts and similar garments. For projects requiring a very heavy bottom-weight fabric, a heavier twill or denim may be preferable.

Is this fabric beginner-friendly?
Yes. Cotton twill is generally easy to handle because it is stable and does not have the slipperiness or stretch of many other garment fabrics. This makes it a good option for newer sewists who want to work with a medium-weight woven fabric.

What sewing needle should I use for this cotton twill?
A Universal needle in size 80/12 or 90/14 is a good starting point. The best choice can vary depending on the number of fabric layers and the type of project, so testing on a scrap first is recommended.

Do I need extra fabric to match the polka dots?
If you want the dots to align across prominent seams, pockets or garment fronts, purchasing a little extra fabric is recommended. Pattern matching is optional, but careful placement can give the finished project a particularly polished appearance.

Due to the different color variations of each monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the color will exactly match what you see online.
