Gabardine
Cotton Gabardine for Tailored Sewing
Our gabardine fabric is selected for sewists who want structure, durability, and a clean finish in their handmade garments. Gabardine is a tightly woven fabric with a smooth surface and subtle diagonal weave, making it well suited to tailored pieces that hold their shape. Cotton gabardine is especially popular for trousers, skirts, jackets, and garments that benefit from a polished look without feeling heavy.
At MaaiDesign Fabrics, we curate gabardine fabric that has a peached extra soft surface. Clear product descriptions and helpful details support confident online shopping, especially when choosing structured fabrics. All fabrics are sold in 25cm increments and cut continuously, making it easy to order the correct amount. While colours may vary slightly by screen, we aim to represent each fabric as accurately as possible. If you are unsure whether gabardine fabric suits your project, no worries. Just ask and we will help.
Cotton gabardine is valued for its balance of strength and comfort. It presses well, sews cleanly, and creates garments that wear beautifully over time. Many sewists choose gabardine for projects that need a more refined appearance without sacrificing practicality.
Most orders are packed and dispatched within 1 to 2 business days, with tracking included. Our Happiness Guarantee and 30 day returns provide reassurance, so you can shop with confidence and enjoy the process from fabric selection to finished garment.
