Fabric for children's bedding

The first suggestion, ideal for sewing bedding, is satin (100% cotton.) It is a soft, drapey, cotton bedlinen fabric of satin weave. At the same time, it is useful, because it's made of natural fibres and elegant - the fabric has a subtle gloss. A characteristic feature of it is that after the first washing it increases 0,5% in length and 0,5% in width. Remember, however, never to use bleach with children bedlinen nor other aggressive bleaching products, nor wring the fabric after washing. Another material perfect for sewing bedding and other home accessories is cretonne. This light fabric of plain weave has a lot of different usages; apart from bedlinen, you can use it for sewing dresses, shirts, children clothes and many others. However, we recommend washing below 40°C using the special mode for the delicate fabrics, most preferably with a detergent without phosphates. Cotton interlock (100% of cotton) is one of the best quality, natural material whose edges do not ride up. It is frequently called a 'bodysuits' fabric. Not only is it perfect as bedlinen fabric but also for child bodysuits, blankets, pyjamas and many others. What is characteristic for this type of fabric is its dimension change after the first washing - from -5% to -6% in length and from -5% to -6% in width.
