Made in Japan by Sevenberry, this 100% cotton fabric features a playful polka dot print combining green and pink in a cheerful, eye-catching colour palette. The classic dot motif is simple enough to coordinate with other prints while adding a fun pop of colour to garments, quilts, accessories and creative sewing projects.

At 156 gsm, this Japanese cotton has a light-to-medium weight with a stable plain-weave construction and no stretch. It offers more body than Sevenberry's lightweight 110 gsm broadcloths while remaining versatile enough for selected apparel projects.

Its stable woven construction makes it easy to cut, press and sew, making this fabric suitable for beginner sewists as well as experienced makers. The small-scale polka dot design is also easy to mix and match with florals, stripes and solids or to use as a contrast fabric for pockets, collars, cuffs, facings and other details.

What Can You Sew With This Japanese Cotton?

This versatile Sevenberry cotton is an excellent choice for quilting, garments, children's clothing, accessories and craft projects. Its weight provides enough stability for projects that benefit from some structure while remaining suitable for a variety of everyday garments.

Recommended projects include:

• Quilts and patchwork
• Button-up shirts
• Structured blouses and tops
• Casual dresses and shirt dresses
• Gathered, pleated and A-line skirts
• Children's dresses, shirts and clothing
• Pyjama bottoms
• Aprons
• Tote bags and fabric bags
• Pouches and small accessories
• Cushion covers
• Craft and home sewing projects
• Contrast pockets, collars, cuffs and facings

For garments that require a very soft or fluid drape, consider choosing rayon, viscose or another drapier fabric instead. This Japanese cotton is best suited to sewing patterns designed for a stable, non-stretch woven fabric with some structure.

Why Choose Sevenberry Japanese Cotton?

Sevenberry is known for its Japanese cotton fabrics featuring distinctive florals, dots, stripes and other timeless prints. This fabric combines a classic polka dot motif with the versatility of a stable 100% cotton woven base.

The 156 gsm weight makes it particularly useful for sewists looking for a cotton that can transition between quilting, accessories and garment sewing. Its stable plain weave is easy to handle at the sewing machine and works especially well for projects where a little structure is desirable.
