One of the most popular and oldest Dressmaking Fabrics is Gingham Fabric, and this is largely down to its versatility. Gingham has an extensive range of uses in Dressmaking and many other projects. In todays blog Im going to talk about its uses as a Dressmaking Fabric. Here are the Gingham Dressmaking Fabrics that we stock here at Calico Laine: Gingham Fabrics: Our standard range of ginghams are 115cm and made from polyester. These ginghams are available in 1/4” or 1/8” check. These all wash really well and have a soft woven finish to them, maing them ideal to be used for school uniforms, dresses and even shirts. Large Check Gingham Fabrics: These large check 1”square ginghams have the same characteristics as the smaller check ginghams. With the check being much bigger on this range they lend themselves to be used for more adult based clothing. Although not strictly dressmaking, it is also an ideal for making kitchen curtains and tablecloths out of this fabric as they look great, and wash really well. Cotton Rich Gingham Fabrics: An excellent selection fabrics that have a much higher cotton composition than the other gingham fabrics. Our range of cotton rich ginghams enjoy 60% cotton mixed with a 40% polyester, making them an excellent choice for dressmaking. This range of fabrics are 150cm wide and priced at only £4.99.
