Muslin Fabric Explained – Is It The Same As Cotton?

Cotton and muslin are two different things. Cotton is a fibre derived from the cotton plant but used to create muslin fabric. As such, muslin can be composed of 100% cotton yet show different features to a pure cotton fabric.

This is partially why 100% cotton and cotton fabric is so popular; it can be used to make new fabrics with different attributes, making the new fabric better suited to various applications. That’s the case with muslin – it’s been used for generations to craft wonderful things and is known for being a lot softer, lighter and more breathable than pure 100% cotton.

The Uses Of Muslin Fabric

You can use 100% cotton fabric for many things and muslin is no different. It has plenty of applications across lots of craft areas, though here are some of the best use cases for this fabric:

Dressmaking

People have used muslin fabric for dressmaking for many decades. Its light material makes it feel lovely to wear and the excellent drape allows for dresses that flow majestically. Using a 100% cotton blend of muslin keeps the dress breathable and durable too.

Upholstery Crafting

Double-gauze muslin is the popular choice for curtains and other upholstery crafts. It’s a thicker version of this fabric and can be bought per metre to make large furnishings and covers around the home. Different-coloured muslin fabric is great for upholstery – we have black muslin fabric, cream muslin, pink and many more choices.

Baby Clothing

White muslin fabric is usually used to make baby clothing and accessories. The soft texture and breathability of the fabric make it perfect to use around small children. If you have grandchildren or newborn nephews/nieces, making them a lovely soft blanket or swaddle would be the perfect present.

Bedding

You can also use muslin to make lightweight bedding during the summer. Pick any metre length you like and then cut it down and sew it to create sheets, pillow covers or even a mattress protector. It’s light and airy, meaning you don’t get overly hot during the warmer parts of the year.

Food Preparation

Of course, muslin fabric is widely used in food preparation. A cloth from this material can be perfect for draining liquids or squeezing moisture out of various cheeses and tofu. You only need a metre or so and you’ve got a handy accessory to help with the cooking.
