Burlington Fabrics

Burlington Fabrics by the Metre

Burlington fabric is a textured polyester fabric known for its slightly ribbed, woven surface and firm handle. In this category you'll find Burlington fabrics by the metre in a wide range of colours and patterns, including the popular multi stripe and Burlington stripe designs. The fabric holds its shape well, which makes it a practical option for costumes, decor and craft projects alike. Whether you need a single metre or a bulk quantity for a workshop, this collection covers the basics without unnecessary fuss.

What Makes Burlington Fabric Different

The structure is what sets Burlington fabric apart from a plain poplin or smooth polyester. The woven texture gives it a slightly grainy look and a bit more body, so it drapes with structure rather than clinging. That's useful when you want a garment or decor item to keep its form. The fabric is colourfast and easy to maintain, which matters if you're making something that will see regular use, like cushions or curtains.

Burlington Multi Stripe and Burlington Stripe

Two variants come up often in this range: the Burlington multi stripe and the classic Burlington stripe. The multi stripe combines several colours in one repeat, giving a livelier, more graphic look, which works well for carnival outfits or statement clothing pieces. The Burlington stripe is more restrained, a repeating stripe pattern that suits both fashion and home textile projects. Both keep the same textured base fabric, so the handle and durability stay consistent across the range.

What You Can Make With It

Burlington fabric turns up in a fairly broad set of applications, thanks to its structure and colourfastness:

• Fashion and costumes: stylish clothing pieces and carnival outfits that need to hold their shape through a night of wear.
• Home decor: cushions, curtains and tablecloths, where the texture adds visual interest without being heavy.
• DIY and craft projects: bags, accessories and smaller sewing projects where a firmer fabric helps.
• Group and event outfits: the colour range makes it easy to match a whole group for a themed event.

If you're after something with less texture and more sheen, Satin Poplin Fabric is worth a look, and for heavier, more robust projects Canvas Fabric Cotton is a solid alternative. For curtains needing extra light-blocking, Blackout Curtain Fabric is the better fit.

Ordering: Metres, Coupons and Wholesale

Burlington fabric is sold by the metre, so you order exactly what your project requires, from a single metre to larger quantities.

Occasional fixed coupons or remnants appear in the assortment too, handy for smaller projects at a lower price. Not sure about the colour or handle before ordering? A fabric sample is available for €0.50, so you can check the texture and shade in hand before committing to a larger cut.
