Introducing the New Peter Horton Cotton Fabrics – Perfect for Dressmaking!

I'm thrilled to welcome the stunning new Peter Horton cotton fabrics to Sunnyside Fabrics UK! This beautiful collection features elegant prints and vibrant colours on a silky-soft, breathable cotton base – perfect for dressmakers who want their creations to be as comfortable as they are stylish.

Why Choose Peter Horton Cotton for Dressmaking?

When it comes to making clothes, fabric choice is everything. The Peter Horton range is made from premium quality cotton that’s both lightweight and breathable, making it a dream to wear – especially in warmer weather or layered for cooler months.

Here’s why dressmakers love it:

• Silky Soft Texture: The smooth finish feels gentle against the skin, adding a touch of luxury to everyday wear.

• Breathable Comfort: Cotton naturally allows air to circulate, helping to regulate body temperature and reduce irritation.

• Easy to Work With: Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, this fabric cuts, sews, and presses beautifully – making your sewing experience much smoother.

Looking for inspiration? Here are our favourite sewing projects that pair perfectly with Peter Horton cotton fabrics:

1. Summer Dresses – Think floaty tea dresses, wrap styles, or shirt dresses that show off the fabric’s drape and print.

2. Blouses & Tops – Lightweight and breathable, perfect for casual or workwear staples.

3. Skirts – A-line or gathered skirts are ideal for showing off bold prints.

4. Pyjama Sets – Soft on the skin and breathable for a perfect night’s sleep.

5. Children’s Clothes – Gentle on sensitive skin and full of personality with Peter Horton’s unique designs.

Caring for Your Peter Horton Cotton

To keep your dressmaking creations looking and feeling their best, here are our top fabric care tips:

• Pre-wash your fabric before sewing to allow for any natural shrinkage.

• Wash at 30°C with a gentle detergent to maintain colour and softness.

• Avoid tumble drying if possible – line drying is gentler on the fibres.

• Iron on a medium setting while the fabric is still slightly damp for the best results.
