This Italian ex-designer check is a fine, lightweight woven cotton with a touch of stretch, ideal for shirts, blouses and easy everyday sewing. The small blue-and-white check keeps it classic, while the soft handle and slight give make it comfortable to wear and simple to work with.

Made from 97% cotton and 3% elastane, this fabric drapes well without feeling flimsy. At 45gsm and 135cm wide, it’s perfect for lightweight tops, gathered styles, summer dresses and layering pieces. A great choice if you like crisp shirting fabrics but want something with a bit more movement.

Fabric Calculator

Work out how much you need with our fabric calculator

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
