What Is Cotton Lawn?

Cotton lawn is a lightweight, finely woven cotton with a smooth, slightly crisp feel. It's lighter and softer than quilting cotton but less sheer than voile, so it drapes beautifully while holding a neat seam.

Easy Cotton Lawn Projects

Cotton lawn is perfect for blouses, button-down shirts, sundresses, skirts, kids' clothing, pajamas, scarves and lightweight quilts. Pair a floral lawn with French seams for a clean, professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between cotton lawn and quilting cotton?
Lawn is lighter, finer and softer, with more drape, making it ideal for clothing. Quilting cotton is heavier and crisper, which suits quilts and structured projects.

Can I quilt with cotton lawn?
Yes. Lawn makes soft, lightweight quilts. A light spray starch makes it easier to cut and piece accurately.

What needle should I use for lawn?
A fine needle, such as a size 70/10 or 60/8 Microtex, gives clean stitches without snagging.

How much lawn do I need for a blouse?
Most blouses take about 2 to 2½ yards, depending on the pattern and fabric width. Always check your pattern's yardage chart.

Is cotton lawn see-through?
Most printed lawns are opaque enough to wear alone. Very light colors may need a lining or a camisole underneath.
