What is a fat quarter?
A fat quarter is a quarter yard cut differently than a regular quarter of material. A fat quarter measures 18 inches by 22 inches, nearly forming a square of fabric. To create a fat quarter, cut a half-yard of fabric 18 inches along its lengthwise grain, then cut that piece in half at its midpoint.
How to Use Fat Quarters
Fat quarters can be used in a wide variety of sewing and quilting projects. Here are our top suggestions.
Patchwork and Quilting
Fat quarters are particularly popular in quilting, where they can be used to create a variety of quilt blocks and designs. Because they offer more versatility and variety than other fabric cuts, they’re a great choice for creating unique and interesting quilt patterns.
Small Sewing Projects
Fat quarters are also great for smaller sewing projects, like pouches, bags, and accessories. Because they offer a small amount of fabric in a variety of designs, they’re perfect for adding a pop of colour or interest to your projects. Fat quarters can also be used to make a wide variety of home decor items, including pillow covers, table runners, and wall hangings.
Clothing
Fat quarters can be used to make clothes but it might not be enough fabric for larger clothing items. Fat quarters are typically used for smaller projects however, if you are making a smaller garment like a child’s dress or a skirt, you may be able to use fat quarters. It is important to consider the size of the garment and the amount of fabric required before starting the project, so always check the fabric requirements in the pattern instructions.
Applique and Embroidery
Finally, fat quarters can be used for applique, where small pieces of fabric are cut and sewn onto a larger piece to create a design or image. Because fat quarters offer a variety of colours and designs in a small amount of fabric, they’re great for creating intricate applique designs.
What is Polycotton?
Polycotton is a fabric that combines the best of both worlds: the softness of cotton and the durability of polyester. Polycotton is an amalgamation of polyester and cotton. These two materials are woven together to create a hybrid fabric that offers a balance of desirable properties.
What is Polycotton Used for?
Polycotton is commonly used for making clothing items such as dresses, suits, and medical scrubs. It’s the preferred fabric for PPE uniforms worn by doctors, nurses, and medical personnel in hospitals. Bedsheets, pillowcases, and other homeware accessories can also be made from polycotton.
What are the advantages of Polycotton?
Polycotton withstands wear and tear better than pure cotton. It maintains its shape and moisture-absorbing properties even after multiple washes. Unlike natural cotton, polycotton tends to resist wrinkles. Garments made from polycotton are less likely to crease, and they’re easy to press. Polycotton provides breathability similar to cotton but without compromising durability. It allows perspiration and prevents overheating when used in clothing.
