This fabric was invented in the East, and it is widespread in the West. Muslin history began in the 16th century. Mosul (city in Iraq) began to produce light and durable cotton fabric at the same time.

Soft, airy, breathable... It is not surprising that in the 18th century, when muslin was brought to Europe, the fabric became popular quickly among rich nobles. Fashionistas were especially fond of muslin as they wore multi-layered dresses. They felt comfortable in them even in the most stuffy halls and at crowded balls.

Muslin is produced in a special way. Firstly, fibres are strongly twisted, and then they are intertwined with each other. Some confuse muslin with gauze. Yes, there is a slight resemblance. But muslin, unlike gauze, is very durable. Things from this fabric serve for many years, becoming softer with each laundry.

Today muslin is produced at dozens of different factories in Russia. What is better to sew from this fabric?
