Cotton Satin Stretch Fabric

Cotton Satin Stretch Fabric by the Metre

Cotton satin stretch fabric combines the soft touch of cotton with a subtle sheen and just enough elasticity for a comfortable fit. This blend contains 52% cotton, 45% polyester and 3% elastane, so you get breathability from the cotton fibres and freedom of movement from the elastane. The fabric weighs 240 grams per square metre and comes in a width of 150 cm, available in over 12 colours. It's a solid choice for anyone who wants a satin with a bit of give rather than a rigid weave.

Weight and handle

At 240 grams/m², this fabric sits on the heavier side for satin. That extra weight gives garments structure without stiffness, since the elastane keeps the drape soft. You'll notice the cotton content in the handle too, it feels warmer and less slippery than a pure polyester satin. The slight stretch makes cutting and sewing more forgiving, though a ballpoint needle helps prevent skipped stitches on knit-like blends such as this one.

What to make with it

The combination of sheen, weight and stretch suits several project types:

• Fitted dresses, blouses and skirts where you want shape without restriction
• Tailored trousers or jackets that benefit from a bit of movement
• Accessories like scarves, pouches and belts with a refined finish
• Cushion covers and other home textiles where the sheen adds a decorative touch

Other satin options in our range

If this blend isn't quite what you need, we carry several alternatives. Deluxe Stretch Satin Fabric is a heavier 96% polyester, 4% elastane satin at 230 grams/m², with more sheen and stretch, well suited to eveningwear. For something lighter and without stretch, our Cotton Twill Fabric offers a matte, sturdy weave that works well for trousers and jackets. If you're after texture instead of sheen, Boucle Fabric or Gabardine Fabric are worth a look, and for eveningwear with drape rather than stretch, Lace Fabric is a good complement to satin pieces. Those working with outerwear might also compare this stretch satin against our Boiled Wool Fabric for structured winter garments.
