William Morris Sweet Briar was first designed in 1912 as a wallpaper design before being converted for fabric. The beautiful design is made up by a soft cream background, the climbing rose stems in green and soft brown and pink sweet briar roses prominent within the design.

Our heavyweight fabric is suitable for many different projects, it's a heavier weave than the 100% cotton fabric, and suitable for projects such as curtains and light upholstery. 

The 100% cotton heavyweight fabric is printed in the United Kingdom, just like all our cloth.

The 100% cotton is 152 cm (60") wide with a 1.5cm (1") salve edge either side. The pattern repeat for Sweet Briar is 15cm. For the fabric length, it's sold by the half metre, so you can choose your length using the drop down above. If you order more than 0.5m in the same order, it will be sent as a continuous length.

Our cotton, heavyweight and drill cotton fabric are all machine washable at 30 degrees. As with all natural fibres, cotton will contract so slight shrinkage should be allowed for. Please wash the fabric face to face to make sure there is less abrasion on the pattern from the washing machine. Our pvc fabric is wipe clean only, please wipe with warm soapy water to wash.
