Colour:
Wash Day Blues is a classic pencil/candy stripe cotton shirting reminiscent of traditional children's sailor suit ensembles and classic summer clothing. The only blues you'll experience when wearing this classic striped fabric are happy thoughts of blue summer skies, with freshly laundered clothes flapping on a breezy washing line.
Its alternating woven sky blue and fresh cloud white stripes are definitive of summer, classic stripes are perfect for all the family.
NB: this quality fabric also has a repeating horizontal-weft stripe detail throughout of extremely pale grey. Not obvious from the photos-please purchase sample if unsure.
Properties:
This excellent fabric boasts a texture to reach out for! Soft, stable, smooth, crisp and cool, and boasts a malleable soft drape quality which will form pretty gathers, neat pin-tucks and crisp collars and cuffs with the help of a little light iron-on interfacing. Shirt-weight fabrics are a sewing room staple whether you're a crafter or a seamstress.
