Craft Fabrics Built for Every Creative Vision

Lightweight Options for Delicate Handmade Projects

When your craft calls for something soft and easy to manipulate, lighter-weight fabrics in the 80–130gsm range are your best starting point. Printed cotton fabric is a perennial favourite for quilting, patchwork, and appliqué work, offering crisp edges and reliable colour saturation. For projects that benefit from a touch of visual interest, embroidered fabric adds dimension without requiring you to stitch the detail yourself. These lighter options drape beautifully and are forgiving for beginners and seasoned crafters alike.

Mid-Weight Fabrics for Structured Craft Creations

Mid-weight craft fabrics — typically 150–220gsm — strike the ideal balance between workability and body, making them perfect for tote bags, wall hangings, soft toys, and home décor accents. Linen fabric in this range holds its shape well and develops a beautiful texture over time, while canvas-style weaves provide the structure needed for sturdier makes. If you're crafting accessories or small goods, consider pairing your outer fabric with an interlining fabric to add firmness and longevity to the finished piece.

Heavy-Duty Fabrics for Functional and Decorative Crafts

For crafts that need to withstand daily use or hold a defined shape — think storage baskets, pinboards, or decorative panels — heavier fabrics from 250–350gsm deliver the necessary durability. Calico fabric at the heavier end of the spectrum is a workshop staple, ideal for toile-making, stencilling, and mixed-media art projects. Crafters working on bags and pouches will also find value browsing our bag fabric range, which features reinforced weaves and coated options suited to high-wear applications. Choosing the right weight from the outset saves time, materials, and frustration down the line.

Wholesale Craft Fabric Priced for Makers Who Create More

Whether you're running a craft studio, stocking a retail haberdashery, or simply working through ambitious personal projects, buying craft fabric by the yard at wholesale prices means your creativity is never limited by budget. Our range spans 80gsm delicate sheers right through to 350gsm heavyweight canvases, giving you genuine flexibility across every type of handmade project imaginable. From intricate embroidered fabric for statement pieces to reliable cotton fabric for everyday sewing, every option in our catalogue is chosen for quality that holds up through cutting, stitching, and finishing.

From Soft Toys to Statement Bags — Craft Fabric for All

The beauty of a well-stocked craft fabric range is that it supports projects at every skill level and across every discipline — from beginner quilters choosing their first buffalo check fabric to experienced makers constructing structured bags and accessories that rival boutique retail pieces. Our application-focused curation means you spend less time searching and more time making, with fabric weights, weaves, and finishes grouped to match real-world project needs.

Craft fabric isn't one-size-fits-all, and our catalogue reflects that diversity. Soft, drapey options suit plush toys and fabric bunting; stiffer, denser weaves handle the demands of organisers, book covers, and decorative panels. If your project sits somewhere in between — like a lined apron or a padded cushion — layering fabrics of complementary weights gives you exactly the hand feel and structure you're after. Browse by gsm, fibre type, or pattern to find the perfect match for your next make.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of fabric work best for quilting and patchwork?
Tightly woven, mid-weight cotton fabrics are the gold standard for quilting and patchwork because they cut cleanly, hold seams well, and resist fraying during handling. Printed cottons with a gsm in the 120–160 range give you the control needed for precise piecing. Avoid fabrics with too much stretch or an overly loose weave, as these can distort your blocks during assembly. Pre-washing your fabric before cutting is also strongly recommended to prevent shrinkage after the quilt is finished.
How do I choose between felt and woven fabric for craft projects?
Felt is a non-woven material that doesn't fray, making it ideal for cut-out shapes, appliqué, and children's craft projects where clean edges matter without the need for hemming. Woven fabrics offer greater strength, washability, and a wider variety of textures and prints, which makes them better suited to projects that need to last or be laundered regularly. For decorative crafts and quick makes, felt is convenient; for anything structural or garment-adjacent, a woven fabric will serve you better. Consider the end use and care requirements before making your choice.
What gsm range is recommended for making soft toys and stuffed animals?
For soft toys and stuffed animals, fabrics in the 150–200gsm range tend to work best — substantial enough to hold the stuffing without puckering, yet soft enough to create a tactile, child-friendly finish. Cotton canvas, brushed cotton, and tightly woven fleece are popular choices in this category. Make sure any fabric you choose for children's toys meets relevant safety standards, particularly regarding flammability and dye safety. Avoid fabrics with loose weaves or embellishments that could detach and pose a hazard.
Can I use craft fabric for home décor projects like cushion covers or wall hangings?
Absolutely — many craft fabrics translate beautifully into home décor applications, especially when you select the right weight and weave for the job. For cushion covers, a medium-weight cotton or linen blend around 180–220gsm provides durability and a clean finish. Wall hangings benefit from fabrics with interesting texture or pattern, and lighter options can be starched or backed for added body. Pairing your chosen fabric with an appropriate interlining can elevate the professional look of any home décor make.
Is craft fabric sold by the yard suitable for screen printing or fabric painting?
Yes — many craft fabrics, particularly plain-weave cottons and calico, are excellent surfaces for screen printing, block printing, and fabric painting. Natural fibres tend to accept fabric inks and paints more evenly than synthetics, producing vibrant and lasting results. It's best to pre-wash and iron the fabric before printing to remove any sizing or finishes that could interfere with ink adhesion. Always test your chosen paint or ink on a small swatch before committing to the full project.
