all prices are per metre, orders of more than 1 metre will be supplied in a continuous length.
A classic 1/8 inch gingham polycotton featuring a small, neat check pattern that gives a clean, timeless look.
This is one of those fabrics that never really goes out of style – simple, versatile and easy to work with for a wide range of projects.
Available in four colourways – blue, green, red and navy – all with a crisp white check that gives that traditional gingham finish.
The smaller 1/8" scale makes it ideal for more detailed garments and projects, giving a subtle pattern rather than anything too bold.
This is a smooth polycotton with a lightweight feel and a touch of structure, making it easy to sew and great for garments that need to hold their shape slightly without being stiff.
