Cupro is a material in the rayon family, that has a look and feel similar to silk. Its excellent quality and ecological pedigree set it apart from ordinary rayon and it is especially pleasing to the touch. This material is so soft and fine that it’s easy to forget you’re wearing it.
Cupro is a breathable material that has a significant cooling effect in the heat. That makes it a safe choice for sewing clothing to wear in even the hottest conditions.
Crepe georgette is a type of fabric woven with tightly twisted yarn (in this case cupro) that gives it an interesting pebbled structure. When combining fabrics, try pairing it with another crepe weave or a sheer georgette.
This cupro crepe georgette can be used anywhere you would find silk crepe georgette. It is perfect for both dressy and casual garments, especially draped and flowing styles.
Items you might sew with crepe georgette:
Wash by hand or on your machine’s gentle cycle. Do not wring; lay flat to dry. Cupro fibers can withstand fairly high temperatures, but if not washed gently can stiffen somewhat, forming creases that are difficult to iron out. Dry iron on no higher than the cotton setting.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.

You just need to recognize what the tag is telling you.

Fabric weight is one of the key elements in any fabric description. It’s an indicator of what a cloth is actually made of and what it could be good for. In online fabric shops you’ll find it listed alongside textile content and width, in brick-and-mortar shops it’s on the sticker at the end of the bolt. So, what exactly does it tell you?
