This 100% cotton, Oxford weave shirting is soft, but very strong, with the feel of a quality Chambray fabric. Fabric like Oxford Check - Sailing Days is smart, but casual and therefore a dressmaking classic.

A pale cream background showcases classic tones of navy blue, pale sand and muted red. Woven in a large and airy checked design. There's a very nautical style to the airy check and classic colour palette - perfect for classic summer clothing.

Oxford Check - Sailing Days boasts a stable, easy sew handle plus a reassuringly soft but substantial drape quality, perfect for creating dresses with full skirts and gathered, puffed, full sleeve details. This versatile fabric will pleat, tuck, top-stitch and so much more.

Ideal for hard-wearing shirts, shirt-dresses, '50s style shirt-waister dresses, skirts, as well as light soft furnishings, craft and patchwork
