Premium Polycotton Gingham Fabric | 1″, 1/4″ & 1/8″ Check Sizes

Price range: £0.00 through £80.79 Price Including Tax

Bring timeless charm to your wardrobe and home with our classic Polycotton Gingham Check Fabric. Woven from a premium blend of 70% Cotton and 30% Polyester, this fabric offers the breathable, soft comfort of natural cotton, combined with the durability and crease-resistance of polyester.

Weighing a versatile 150 GSM, it is lightweight yet structurally stable, making it a joy to cut and sew on any domestic sewing machine.

Choose Your Perfect Check Size

Gingham is not a “one size fits all” pattern! We offer this fabric in three distinct check scales to perfectly match your project:

  • 1/4 Inch Check (Medium): The classic, standard size. This is the absolute go-to choice for sewing traditional UK school summer dresses, lightweight blouses, and classic craft bunting.

  • 1 Inch Check (Large): A bold, statement scale. Perfect for home décor, including rustic kitchen curtains, classic picnic blankets, and large tablecloths.

  • 1/8 Inch Check (Small/Micro): A delicate, intricate scale. Ideal for baby clothing, doll making, and intricate patchwork quilting.

Why Choose Our Gingham?

  • High Cotton Content: At 70% cotton, it feels much softer and more breathable than standard 50/50 polycotton blends.

  • Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified: Independently tested to be completely free from harmful substances, making it perfectly safe for children’s clothing and sensitive skin.

  • Yarn-Dyed Quality: The iconic checked pattern is woven into the fabric using pre-dyed yarns (not just printed on top), ensuring the design is vivid and reversible.

  • 12 Classic Colours: Available in every essential shade, from traditional Navy and Red to vibrant Emerald Green and Baby Pink.

Ideal Uses

  • Dressmaking: School summer uniforms, vintage-style dresses, shirts, and aprons.

  • Home Décor: Washable indoor tablecloths, napkins, and lightweight kitchen curtains.

  • Crafting: Bunting, tote bags, and patchwork.

Expert Sewing Tips for Gingham

  1. Pattern Matching: The grid-like nature of gingham makes it easy to cut in straight lines, but you must take care to match the checks across your seams (especially on side seams and sleeves) for a professional finish.

  2. Pre-Washing: Because this fabric has a high 70% cotton content, it may shrink slightly on the first wash. Always pre-wash at 30°C or 40°C before cutting your pattern.

  3. Use it on the Bias: Cutting gingham on the “bias” (at a 45-degree angle to the straight edge) turns the square checks into dynamic diamonds! This is a fantastic technique for adding contrast to pockets, collars, and cuffs.
