Cotton is the king of affordable textiles and a favorite of fashion designers. Comfortable to handle all year round, easy to sew, and versatile.

　　What is cotton? It is a natural fiber harvested from the cotton plant. It's a miracle of nature because the fluff of raw cotton happens to appear around the seeds as a natural part of plant growth. Cotton is harvested by machine in Europe, Australia, and the United States, but it is still hand-harvested in other developing countries. Cotton production involves a lot of manual labor.

　　The main advantage of cotton fabric is comfortable. Depending on the weave and finish, cotton absorbs moisture, has a soft and smooth hand, drapes well, and is easy to care for. The durability of cotton fabrics depends on the length of the raw cotton filaments or staple fibers used to make the fabric: the longer the staple fibers, the stronger and more durable the fabric.

　　Cotton fabrics are more affordable than linen or silk and are in high demand for cozy cotton sheets and lovely comforters. The price of cotton depends on where the fabric is woven and printed. Cotton is more expensive in Egypt, the US, and Europe. You can see and feel the quality difference in these fabrics. Basically, when it comes to cotton, you get what you pay for.

　　For tailors, cotton is the easiest fabric to work with. It doesn't slide or move during cutting as silk fabric does, it holds up well to all stitch types on your sewing machine, and it's pretty sturdy if you need to repeatedly pick and choose stitches.
