Calico has been labelled one of the most versatile fabrics in the world. It is used for artists’ canvas, trials for fashion designers, curtains, soft furnishings and bags. The beauty of calico is it is completely natural and offers the perfect base to be dyed or printed on. Calico is cheap to buy because it is unfinished and in its raw state it is not dyed. Calico is a plain weave fabric, which means that the warp and weft (the up to down and left to right weave of the fibres) are of equal weight, and tightly woven at right angles to give a strong and hardwearing fabric. This simple weave means that calico can be made quickly, both on mechanised looms as it is now, and on the non-mechanised looms of earlier times. Calico is a cream or beige color and you will see it sprinkled with little black dots which are the cotton seed remnants. Calico is a natural, unbleached fabric and this qulity lends itself to a fabric dying process. Calico absorbs pigments of dyes and easily accepts both natural dyes and synthetic ones. 63 inch Wide Medium Weight Calico Fabric by M&J The natural strength of calico lends itself to sturdy items like aprons, curtains and bags. Ideal for embroidery Calico is the staple 100% cotton fabric for all quilting, embroidery and creative projects. Its natural properties make it ideal for dyeing. Making Curtains Calico curtains can give a room a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere due to the natural look and feel of the fabric itself. If calico is left unlined, it can be semi-sheer making it useful for rooms that need to let in some light. Otherwise, it can be lined and interlined for a more upscale look. It is best to use calico at 3 times fullness when making curtains Upholstery Calico can be used for a wide variety of projects and make the perfect muted base to many upholstery projects.
