Solid colors
Plain-colored fabrics offer a versatile basis for all sewing projects: plain-colored woven material makes cuts, patterns and details stand out and is perfect for combining with patterned fabrics or as a clear look for clothing and home textiles. In this category you will find solid colors in different thicknesses and textures - from light cotton to slightly firmer woven fabrics.
What are plain woven fabrics suitable for?
Plain fabrics are ideal for blouses, shirts, skirts, light pants, children's clothing as well as cushion covers, curtains and other home accessories. The subtle surface allows sewing, pockets and piping to be accentuated particularly well. Single-colored fabrics are also the first choice if you want to harmoniously coordinate several pieces of a wardrobe.
How to process?
When sewing solid color woven fabrics, the usual basic rules apply: wash before cutting (if the fabric shrinks), make sure the threads run straight and use suitable needles. A universal needle is sufficient for fine cotton uni fabrics; for denser woven fabrics, choose a slightly thicker needle. You can secure edges with an overlocker or a narrow zigzag stitch; French sewing is suitable for particularly clean insides.
