Product Description
Yellow 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing is a dependable component for bag handles, adjustable and cross-body straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. It’s sold by the metre, and when you order more than one, we supply it in one continuous length so you can cut long runs with minimal joins. This colourway, Yellow, offers a clean, saturated accent that reads clearly against prints and neutrals. The tape is a plain weave with a firm hand, which helps straps lie flat and keeps edges tidy. The width is 25 mm (1"), a widely used standard for everyday bags and home-sewing projects.
Woven from 100% cotton, the webbing has a natural, matte finish and a comfortable grip. Cotton is straightforward at the machine: it feeds predictably, presses into crisp folds for strap ends and keepers, and shows topstitching cleanly for a precise finish. Compared with synthetics, cotton is less water-resistant; for bags that see wet weather, consider a water-repellent treatment or a synthetic webbing for those particular makes. For general use, the dense construction provides good abrasion resistance and structure without unnecessary bulk.
Hardware sizing is critical for function and a professional result. Match this tape to 25 mm internal-width fittings—D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks—to maintain smooth movement and prevent buckling at attachment points. Yellow pairs well with nickel for a bright, modern look, with antique brass for warmth, or with matte black for contrast. Ends cut cleanly with a rotary blade; finish by turning under and topstitching, enclosing in a fabric tab, or securing with a narrow zigzag at stress points. A slightly longer stitch length keeps the weave from compressing and gives an even line.
Designed for practical making, this webbing supports tidy construction and an understated, fabric-first finish while bringing a clear note of colour.

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.
