Sewing Tips
- Needle: A universal sewing machine needle in size 70/10 or 80/12 is generally suitable.
- Thread: Use a good-quality all-purpose polyester or cotton sewing thread.
- Stitch Length: A straight stitch of approximately 2.0–2.5 mm works well for most seams.
- Pressing: Cotton poplin responds beautifully to pressing, making it ideal for crisp seams, pleats, collars and cuffs.
- Pre-Washing: Pre-wash before cutting, as natural cotton fibres may shrink during laundering.
Care Instructions
Machine wash in cold or warm water with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry to help minimize shrinkage and preserve the fabric's appearance. Iron using an appropriate cotton setting when needed.
We recommend pre-washing your fabric using the same method you intend to use for your finished garment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is cotton poplin suitable for beginners?
Yes! Cotton poplin is an excellent choice for beginners. Its stable, non-stretch woven construction makes it easy to cut, handle, sew and press.
What is the difference between cotton poplin and cotton lawn?
Cotton poplin generally has a crisper, more structured feel, making it ideal for shirts, collars and defined silhouettes. Cotton lawn is typically finer, softer and more fluid, making it especially suitable for delicate blouses and airy garments.
Is this cotton poplin suitable for summer clothing?
Absolutely. Its lightweight 114 gsm construction and breathable cotton fibres make it a great choice for summer shirts, blouses, dresses and relaxed garments.
Does cotton poplin stretch?
No. This is a non-stretch woven fabric without elastane. It is best suited to sewing patterns designed for woven fabrics.
Is this fabric see-through?
Opacity can vary depending on the colour, garment design and lighting. Lighter shades, particularly white, may be more translucent than darker colours. A lining may be desirable for certain garments.
Does cotton poplin wrinkle?
Like most 100% cotton fabrics, poplin can wrinkle with wear and washing. However, its smooth surface presses beautifully, helping garments maintain a neat, polished finish.
Due to variations in monitor and mobile device settings, actual fabric colours may differ slightly from what you see on your screen.

Shipping Policy

We’ve recently updated our shipping options to give you more flexibility and competitive rates. At checkout, you can now choose from multiple carriers — including Canada Post, ICS Courrier, Canpar, Purolator, FedEx, UPS, and more.
Shipping fees are automatically calculated based on the weight of your order, with several delivery options and prices available.
If a carrier does not service your address, we may need to use an alternative option, which could incur additional charges, particularly for P.O. box addresses.
For remote or rural areas where delivery costs are higher, additional fees may apply. In these cases, we will provide proof of the shipping costs to ensure transparency.
Other Provinces in Canada, USA, and International Shipping
For customers in other Canadian provinces, the USA, or internationally, we offer a range of shipping options through various carriers. The customer is responsible for selecting their preferred shipping method at checkout.
Please note that our system provides an estimated shipping cost at checkout, which may not always reflect the actual shipping charges.
In cases of oversized orders, shipments to rural or remote areas, or delivery to P.O. boxes, the final shipping cost may differ. If this occurs, we will contact you directly with the updated shipping cost, which will be the responsibility of the customer.
Import Duties & Customs Fees (USA & International Orders)
All orders shipped outside of Canada — including to the United States — may be subject to import duties, customs fees, taxes and other charges assessed by the destination country’s customs authorities. These charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost and are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Customers agree to pay any duties, taxes, fees, or charges required by the destination country in order for customs to release the package. Failure to pay such charges may result in your order being returned or abandoned by the carrier, and no refunds will be issued for duties or unused shipping fees.
We strive to provide clear communication and ensure your shipping experience is seamless. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at: info@lestissees.com

We strive for excellence in our products and customer service, but some imperfections may occur with fabric.
Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable. Missing or pulled knit stitches on the wrong side of the fabric that do not distort the face are also considered acceptable. Additionally, fabric cut at 1 to 3 cm from the edge is acceptable. Stains on the inside of the fabric are also acceptable if they do not appear on the right side.
Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
We cannot cancel or refund orders once we've cut your fabric. If a refund is necessary, a 5% administration fee of your total bill will be charged.
We cannot offer refunds or compensation for items purchased a few days before they go on sale.
If a product is sold out, we'll contact you immediately to offer either a refund of the item at the price you've paid or a replacement with a product of equal value.
