Madras is a great fabric for summer shirts
Washed and dried without color loss or bleeding. Requires ironing as expected for 100% cotton. Pattern retains squareness without shifting from during the pre-washing proce. This made cutting out easy. It sews beautifully and easily. For that reason it is a great beginner fabric.
Summer shirts in progress
So pleased with the madras plaids I had to order more in other color ways. I do hope some of the out-of-stock colors return. I made the grainline scout t and can see it getting a lot of wear.
Perfect for gathers
I decided to use it for a gathered neckline dress because it's thin and it won't be bulky when it's pulled by the elastic. I flatlined the waistband and skirt with muslin to give it a bit of stiffness because after washing, it does wrinkle a bit. The fabric pattern is exactly like the photos and works well for my wardrobe
Great for Quilt Binding
I am using this fabric for binding a quilt I made. I love the color of the fabric.
Madras
Soft cotton, perfect for a shirt. I will order more plaids in this big selection...I especially like that the yardage is cut generously ....always helpful when matching plaids
