Broderie Anglaise / English embroidery fabric per metre

Broderie anglaise means English embroidery in French and is a strong fabric with beautiful details, which makes it very popular to use in many different creative projects.


Broderie anglaise is usually a white fabric with perfectly embroidered details. It will look very good on clothing such as dresses and blouses and on interior such as tablecloths, curtains, pillows and blankets.


This fabric is exceptionally cute to use on clothing for children and babies and it is an obvious choice when you want to make a robe for your baby’s christening or baptism. It comes in neutral colours so you can spice up the outfit with accessories of your choice without the robe looking “too much”.
