Printed Cotton Poplin

Printed Cotton Poplin Fabric by the Metre

Printed cotton poplin fabric is a tightly woven, medium-weight cotton with a smooth finish and a print applied across the full width. This collection covers everything from playful children's motifs to floral patterns and digital prints in sharp, saturated colours. You'll find it used for kidswear, blouses, bedding and a wide range of accessories. Order by the metre from as little as 0.5m, or take advantage of wholesale prices when buying larger quantities.

What Makes Printed Poplin Different

Poplin gets its structure from a fine, dense weave that gives the fabric a slight sheen and a crisp hand. It doesn't drape as loosely as viscose or a jersey, which makes it easier to cut and sew accurately, especially for garments with clean lines like shirts and dresses. The tight weave also holds print detail well, so patterns come out sharp rather than blurred, whether it's a small repeat or a larger design.

Digital Prints and Designs

Our digital print poplin is produced with sharp colour reproduction, so fine details and gradients stay visible instead of washing out. The range includes flowers, animals, geometric patterns and seasonal designs, alongside classic children's prints. If you're after a bolder look, our foil prints add a metallic accent to selected designs, useful for statement pieces or festive projects. For anyone who prefers a calmer combination, pairing a print with a plain poplin in a matching colourway works well and avoids an overly busy result.

Typical Uses

• Children's clothing such as dresses, rompers and shirts
• Blouses and lightweight summer garments
• Bedding and pillowcases
• Bags, headbands and other small accessories
• Patchwork and quilting projects

If you're working on knitwear instead, our Jersey Cotton Fabric Digital Print range offers similar prints on a stretch base, and the Sweat Fabric Printed collection is a good option for hoodies and casual wear. For baby items specifically, the Baby Knit Fabrics selection has softer, stretchier options suited to newborn clothing.

Ordering, Quantities and Prices

You order printed cotton poplin per metre, starting from half a metre, which makes it easy to test a design before committing to a larger cut. Buy from 6 metres and you move into wholesale pricing, useful for small businesses or anyone working on a larger sewing project. Not sure how a print looks or feels in person? A fabric sample costs €0.50 and gives you a real sense of the colour and hand before ordering the full length. Everything ships from our warehouse in Tilburg.
