Product information

Printing on calico gives your fabric a natural, rustic feel; the natural cotton gives a soft print which is slightly muted with warm undertones.

Your personalised design prints with clear details, but as the cloth pattern is visible, you get a real authentic charm to your fabric. Brighter colours will appear more subtle, this is due to the natural cotton fibres. Calico cotton has a very warm dry handle to it and is slightly starched (however it softens quickly with wear). It doesn't stretch and paired with its beautiful print quality this makes it perfect for quilting. Due to its hard wearing nature, printed calico material is a popular choice for embroidery and bespoke sewing projects, such as home-made ragdolls, or hand puppets. 
  • Tightly-woven, firm, taut fabric
  • Gentle, yet hard-wearing nature
  • Clear details with a visible cloth pattern
  • Soft, slightly muted print with warm undertones
  • Slight variations in natural fibre create a subtle pattern 
  • Slightly starched, softens quickly with wear
  • Printed with your own personalised design
  • Great for quilting, ragdolls, cotton dresses and more

What is Calico Print?

When you hear the word calico, most people instantly think of calico cats. Calico cats are cats with a mainly white coat and patches of two other colours. When calico applies to a fabric, many people assume it means roughly the same thing. This is, however, not the case. Calico print fabric doesn't refer to the colouring at all, it refers in fact to the fabric itself. Calico fabric is a plain-woven material; it is made from unbleached cotton, which is often not fully processed. It isn't quite as fine as muslin, however, it's much less thick and coarse than a textile such as denim or canvas. Calico fabric gets its name from a city called Calicut, which is in southwestern India and is where the fabric is originally from. 

How Calico Print Fabric is Finished

You have a choice of four different edge finishes when you use our custom design calico printing. You can either have your calico print fabric sent to you "As Is" which will be sent exactly as it comes out of the printer; with a white border about the edges. You can have your printed calico material "Cut on the Line" which will have had that white border expertly removed by one of our specialists. If you would prefer you can choose to have your calico printing hemmed. You'll get the option of two colours for the thread of your hems; either black or white. Your calico printing will be beautifully hemmed using an overlocked hem which is stitched completely over the edges of your calico fabric, by one of our expert seamstresses.

How we make it

Printed here in London

Calico printing is done here in our London studio; we work to quick turnaround times and ensure that amazing high-quality is maintained. Our fabrics are all printed digitally, however, there is more than one method in which we do this. The main method that we use for natural fabrics is pigment printing. This will print your personalised design directly onto the calico fabric. This prints in a very localised method, applying the coloured dyes to a particular part of the calico fabric. Calico printing uses this method to slowly build up the design onto your calico print fabric. Printing on calico produced detailed results, with warm undertones and a slightly muted print.
