FAQs

Are your childrenswear fabrics safe for newborns and sensitive skin?

Absolutely. Our cotton bases, including the Organic Cotton Interlock Jersey, Organic Poplin, Organic Satin, and Organic Blossom Muslin Gauze, are printed using eco-friendly, child-safe pigment inks that are incredibly gentle on delicate skin.

Which fabrics have a stretch, and what are they best used for?

AnswerWe offer three great stretch options:

  • Organic Cotton Interlock Jersey: A premium, ultra-soft 100% organic cotton knit with natural breathability, perfect for baby grows and rompers.
  • Poppy Lycra Jersey: A natural cotton base blended with 11% elastane for excellent 4-way stretch, ideal for everyday activewear and leggings.
  • Stretch Jersey: A highly flexible polyester/elastane blend that offers incredible durability and vibrant print definition for sportswear.
Do the colors fade quickly when washed? Children's clothes need frequent laundering!

Not at all. Our fabrics- including our active play jerseys and our incredibly soft Squidge Plush—are engineered for durability and excellent colourfastness. They are designed to withstand regular machine washing and heavy daily wear while keeping your playful designs looking vibrant and crisp.

I want to make ultra-cozy blankets or plush toys. Which base should I choose

For ultimate coziness, choose our Squidge Plush. At a substantial 300 gsm, it features a dense, short-pile surface with a deep velvet-like texture that is incredibly warm and perfect for sensory comfort blankets and cuddly toys. If you prefer a lighter, breathable blanket, our Organic Blossom Muslin Gauze offers a beautiful, pillowy-soft double-layer crinkled cotton texture.

I want to gift my child something personal, can you suggest any ideas?

Many parents have taken pictures of their kids' drawings/ artworks and printed them on the fabric/ tea towel/ cushions.

Can I print a single custom piece, or do I have to order a minimum amount?

There are no minimum order quantities! You can print as little as a sample\ Fat Quarter\ 1 meter to test a design or make a one-off personalised gift. If you have multiple smaller designs, you can also combine them onto a single layout using our Make a Meter feature.
