Gingham Fabric

Gingham fabric is balanced plain-woven fabric. In a check, stripe or plaid pattern.

Small Check Gingham

Small Gingham, the smartest and most traditional of the three varieties and widely known as the school uniform Gingham. The small squares in the check pattern measure just an 8th of an inch. As with all traditional gingham, one coloured and one white yarn is used to create the pattern, resulting in a third tone just slightly lighter than the main colour. The smart look of this small gingham is ideal for workwear as well as schoolwear. The taut structure of the fabric can be worked into neat tailoring for mens and ladies shirts.

The fabric is a mix of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. Lightweight but tough enough to endure hot washes, after all school activities can get a bit messy. Red, bottle green and navy blue are the most popular shades for summertime school wear,but we also have pink, blue, yellow, lilac and black to choose from.

Medium Check Gingham

Medium check gingham, the most versatile of the tree gingham we stock. The medium quarter inch check has more impact than the very small 1/8 inch and the pattern can be noticeable form further away. Men’s,women’s, children or adults clothing, medium gingham is the best all rounder if you want a fresh gingham look. The fabric is made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton to create the iconic three tone check which is woven into the fabric, not printed like some lesser varieties.

We have ten colours to choose from :

Turquoise
Royal Blue
Sky Blue
Brown
Bottle Green
Lilac

These two assets mean you can cut and make neatly tailored garments and create crisp pleats whilst being able to create rippled gatherings and fully flared skirts.
