Fine Cotton Poplin Fabric – Poppy Print Limited Edition | Atelier 27
Soft, summery, and quietly lovely. The Poppy print from Atelier Vingt-Sept is a fine 100% cotton poplin with a charming poppy flower motif in warm red-orange on a vanilla cream background, surrounded by soft warm-beige foliage. It's the kind of print that feels like a French country afternoon — easy, beautiful, and a little romantic.
Atelier 27 describe this fabric as "chatoyante" — shimmering — with the poppy motif and its warm-toned foliage catching the light beautifully. Light enough to float in a gathered skirt, structured enough for a crisp blouse, the Poppy print is a genuine wardrobe-builder that works from spring through autumn.

Sewing Tips
Fine cotton poplin is one of the most beginner-friendly fabrics available. Sharp needle (70/10), short stitch, and you're set. Use French seams for a couture finish inside blouses and dresses. Pre-wash before cutting — cotton shrinks slightly on first wash and you want accurate sizing.
Care Instructions
Machine wash 30°C, delicate cycle, inside out. Hang to dry or tumble dry low. Iron on medium–high heat while slightly damp. Always pre-wash fabric before cutting.
