Cotton

Cotton is the most-sewn fabric in Australia - and at Super Cheap Fabrics we carry the most comprehensive cotton range you'll find anywhere, from $3.00 per half metre. Whether you're after a crisp cotton drill for workwear, a lightweight cotton voile for a blouse, an everyday printed poplin for a kids' garment, or a sturdy canvas for bags and upholstery - it's all here, sold by the metre with no minimum order.

Cotton works across every project type and every skill level. It presses cleanly, sews predictably, washes easily, and sits comfortably against the skin in every season. In summer it breathes and wicks moisture. In winter, heavier weaves like drill, canvas and textured cotton provide real structure and warmth. It's the fabric that belongs in every maker's rotation year-round.

Cotton for Every Season - Including Winter

Cotton is genuinely a year-round fabric when you choose the right weight. In Australian winters, cotton drill and canvas are workhorses - tight, dense weaves that hold structure and warmth for trousers, jackets, bags and outerwear. Textured cotton adds visual interest to winter garments while keeping things natural and breathable. Cotton also quilts beautifully in winter - muslin and calico are staples for quilting backings and toiles when you're working through a winter sewing project. For layering, cotton sits cleanly under knitwear and fleece without bunching or static. In summer, lighter weaves like voile and printed poplin keep things cool and comfortable. Cotton adapts to whatever you're making.
