FAQ - Cotton Fabric

Cotton fabric is made from the natural fibers of the cotton plant (Gossypium). The fibers are harvested from the cotton boll, cleaned, and spun into yarn, which is then woven into fabric.

Seasonal cotton prints are cotton fabrics featuring patterns designed around specific holidays or times of year — such as fall foliage, Halloween motifs, and patriotic designs. They are popular for quilts, wall hangings, table runners, tote bags, and holiday gift sewing.
