Cotton fabric has long been a favourite among home sewers and crafters—and for good reason. It’s breathable, easy to sew, affordable, and available in a huge range of prints, colours, and textures. Whether you’re looking to refresh your décor, craft something personal, or start a practical project, cotton opens the door to endless creativity.
At Fabricland.co.uk, we stock a wide variety of printed cotton fabrics perfect for every kind of home project. Here are some inspiring ways you can use cotton to add charm, personality, and function to your living space.
1. Handmade Cushion Covers
A quick and satisfying sewing project, cushion covers are an easy way to update your living room or bedroom. Choose from our fun floral prints, bold geometrics, or calming neutrals to match your style.
Tip: Use envelope backs or add zippers for removable, washable covers—a perfect use for our hard-wearing cotton canvas or printed poplin.

2. Stylish Table Linens
Add a homemade touch to your kitchen or dining area with custom placemats, napkins, or table runners. Cotton’s absorbency and durability make it ideal for these practical yet stylish accessories.
Go festive for holidays, floral for summer brunches, or minimalist with solids and stripes. The best part? You can mix and match for every occasion.
3. Reusable Kitchen Essentials
Eco-friendly and endlessly reusable, cotton is perfect for making:
-
Tea towels
-
Bread basket liners
-
Unpaper towels

Reusable bowl covers
Cotton’s absorbency and washability make it a great alternative to disposable kitchen products, and our wide selection of plain and patterned cottons means you can keep it both green and gorgeous.
4. Quilts & Throws
Nothing says “cosy” like a handmade quilt. Whether you’re a patchwork pro or a beginner following a simple design, cotton is the best fabric to use thanks to its softness, breathability, and ease of sewing.
We offer fat quarters, cotton bundles, and charming vintage or novelty prints to help you build a quilt with love and character.

Fabric baskets

Hanging storage pockets
Use heavier-weight cotton or layer with interfacing for structure. These are perfect for bathrooms, kids’ rooms, or craft corners.
