Batik Fabric

Batik fabric is a unique fabric option for a special dye technique to apply colours to the material. This technique involves hardening wax on the fabric and submerging it in dye and cold water. Only specific areas of the Batik fabric are covered in wax and dye, so the whole piece can be dyed again to create wondrous patterns.

This gives Batik fabrics a crackled look and the dye flows beautifully throughout the material. Leaving you with a seamless design and the fabric is a top hit for sewing enthusiasts. Available in all sorts of colours and patterns, you’ll find the best designs on our website. Browse our stock to see what’s on offer!

Benefits Of Batik Fabric Compared To Traditional Cotton

Batiks are made from cotton, by the dying technique gives it some additional properties that traditional cotton fabrics don’t boast. With Batik fabric, you get all the benefits of cotton fabric, plus these two key features:

If you’re new to sewing, you’ve probably encountered many instances where frayed edges get in the way and make your life harder. This fabric doesn’t cause much fraying, making it easier to work with and far better for quilting or sewing sheets.
