Looking for plain cotton lawn fabric in rich colours, google only gives me cotton poplin, does anyone know if you can buy such fabric? Have tried Lady McElroy but they only have viscose lawn.

There are listings on Ebay for plain cotton lawn - some of which say 100% cotton.

Croft Mill have some plains in fuchsia pink or navy, and a medium blue.  Fabric UK have a lot of deep colours at £4.99/metre - the price makes me wonder at the quality, but it is definitely described as 100% cotton lawn, with a lot of info about what lawn is.

Now I'm tempted...

@Acorn well the fabric arrived yesterday and it is rather lovely. It is a border design and will require lining as it is see through with the light behind it. But, when i started to pin my pattern to it i noticed a flaw that runs the width of the fabric so now waiting for the seller to reply to me.

Oh that is a shame - it's very pretty.
