Muslin Fabric
Muslin fabric (also known as Calico) is a cheap, versatile, finely woven cotton fabric that's used for numerous purposes. Used extensively as a theater fabric, muslin cloth is used as a background fabric for sets and stage. Muslin fabric is also easily painted and can take on a translucent quality, so makes an excellent base fabric for props and other scenic elements. Photographers use painted muslins as a backdrop for portraits, while tailors and seamstresses use muslin fabrics in the production of test garments. Dating back to at least the 1600's, where it was regarded as one of the most comfortable and breathable fabrics, muslin cloth has been used extensively in clothing and is considered an heirloom fabric useful for historic costumes and uniforms.
As one of the best sources for muslin fabrics online, and one of the largest muslin fabric suppliers, most of our muslin cloth is used as a base fabric for drapery treatments and upholstery projects- a double cloth base coat that's typically used on furniture and drapery treatments before other decorative fabrics are applied. Our muslin fabric is a high-quality grade with a tight, even weave that's very strong and can be used with confidence in most any project where muslin cloth's unique qualities are called for.
