Meet Nellie the Elephant — a wonderfully characterful deadstock cotton poplin said to originate from a high‑end American designer’s collection.

This is a beautifully balanced poplin: smooth, crisp, and reliable, with a weight that sits perfectly between lightweight lawn and heavier shirting. It’s a pleasure to sew, especially for those who like a fabric that behaves itself — no stretch, no slipping, just clean, predictable handling. It presses sharply, holds structure where you want it, and still has a soft enough drape for everyday comfort.

Set against a deep jet‑black background, Nellie comes to life in a playful polkadot and paisley elephant print — quirky, charming, and wonderfully unusual. It’s the kind of design you don’t stumble across often, making it ideal for makers who love something a little off‑beat and hard to find. A gentle sheen adds a touch of refinement, giving the fabric a polished finish without compromising its practicality.

Perfect for shirts, dresses, skirts, pyjamas, children’s wear, and any project that calls for crispness with personality.

150cm wide 100% Cotton Cool wash
