Product Description
Mineral Blue 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing for making bag handles, adjustable straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. It’s sold by the metre, and when you order more than one metre we supply it in one continuous length so you can cut long runs without unnecessary joins. This shade, Mineral Blue, is a calm blue with a muted grey undertone—easy to pair with denim, canvas, waxed cotton, and modern quilting prints. The tape is woven in a plain weave with a firm hand, giving stable edges and a strap that keeps its shape. The width is 25 mm (1"), the standard size for everyday totes and cross-body straps.
Made from 100% cotton, the webbing has a natural, matte surface and a comfortable grip. Cotton is straightforward under the presser foot: it feeds evenly, presses into crisp folds for strap ends and keepers, and shows topstitching cleanly for a tidy finish. Compared with synthetics, cotton is less water-resistant; if your bag will meet frequent rain, consider adding a water-repellent treatment or choosing a synthetic webbing for those specific projects. For regular daily use, the dense construction provides dependable abrasion resistance and an understated, fabric-first look that lets your main fabric lead.
Choose hardware that matches the tape width exactly. Pair with 25 mm internal-width D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks for smooth movement and an accurate fit at strap ends. Mineral Blue works neatly with nickel for a bright, modern feel, or with gunmetal and antique brass for quieter contrast. Ends cut cleanly; secure by turning under and topstitching, enclosing in a fabric tab, or applying a narrow zigzag at high-wear points. A slightly longer stitch length helps avoid compressing the weave and keeps the line even.

Maker’s notes
-
Cut cleanly with a fresh rotary blade; seal ends by turning under and topstitching or by binding with a fabric tab.
-
Stitch comfortably with a walking foot or standard foot plus a longer stitch (3–3.5 mm) to avoid compression lines.
-
Press to shape: cotton webbing accepts a warm press; use steam to flatten folded ends before topstitching.
-
Moisture considerations: cotton absorbs water; for outdoor bags, consider a water-repellent finish or liner.
-
Hardware fit: measure internal hardware widths—25 mm components give the best alignment and movement.
