Made in Japan by Sevenberry, this lightweight Japanese cotton broadcloth features a timeless petite green stripe on a crisp white background. The narrow, evenly spaced stripes create a clean and versatile look that works beautifully for both contemporary and classic sewing projects.

Part of Sevenberry's signature 88190 Petite Basics collection, this fabric is woven from 100% cotton using a lightweight 40s broadcloth base. At 110 gsm, it has a smooth, closely woven surface with a light yet gently structured hand, making it especially versatile for garment sewing.

The narrow stripe is an excellent wardrobe basic. It can create a polished look when used vertically on shirts, dresses and skirts, while changing the stripe direction on pockets, yokes, cuffs or collars can add subtle visual interest to a handmade garment.

What Can You Sew With Japanese Cotton Broadcloth?

This lightweight Sevenberry cotton is particularly well suited to garments, children's clothing and creative sewing projects. Its stable woven construction makes it easy to cut, press and sew while remaining lightweight enough for comfortable everyday clothing.

Recommended projects include:

• Button-up shirts and shirt dresses
• Blouses and lightweight tops
• Summer dresses and sundresses
• Gathered, pleated and A-line skirts
• Pyjamas and lightweight sleepwear
• Children's shirts, dresses and clothing
• Boxer shorts
• Aprons
• Bandanas and lightweight accessories
• Quilting and patchwork
• Fabric bags and small accessories
• Craft and home sewing projects
• Contrast pockets, collars, cuffs, yokes and facings

The petite stripe is also ideal for stripe play. Cut selected pattern pieces on the cross grain or bias to create contrasting stripe directions on pockets, cuffs, collars, yokes and other design details.

For sewing patterns requiring significant fluidity or drape, a rayon or viscose fabric may be a better choice. This cotton broadcloth is best suited to projects designed for a lightweight non-stretch woven fabric with gentle structure.
