Introduction:
White Mahogany Trellis - Cotton Poplin Designer Shirting is another first-rate, all-cotton poplin originally created for a top British designer of quality men's and women's wear. This fabulous fabric has a clever geometric, all-over design, resembling the dark mahogany shadows of a diamond trellis against a white background.
Small printed designs are perfect for adding interest to otherwise plain outfits and perfect for teaming with other small designs; spots, ginghams, florals and stripes.
Colour:
White Mahogany Trellis is created from fine optic white, Turkish cotton yarns and is printed in a rich mahogany tone which contrasts subtly with the fresh optic white background.
Add this versatile geometric with rich autumnal, brown/red tones to burgundy or brown suit combinations for super smart coordination.
Properties:
This high thread count all cotton poplin is cool, breathable, smooth and has a stable hand, with a soft drape quality too. When gathered and pleated it will form excellent fullness, perfect for an array of styles; tiered and ruffled- dresses and blouses, pleated skirts and lightweight trousers to classic, crisp shirts.

Customer Reviews
Delighted with this cotton poplin mahogany trellis fabric. Just finished making the Nepheline blouse by Vivian Shau Shen. I'm a complete beginner to dressmaking, this being my first pattern attempt. I made a muslin test piece first before using this lovely soft fabric.The poplin ironed, cut and sewed really well, creating neat French seams, making a lovely soft but crisp structured blouse. Looking forward to using my other purchases, I will probably make a second Nephanline blouse same pattern but using the very light weight fabric I also purchased. Great service from FabWorks love how there is lots of information provided on the website about the fabrics, very useful for a beginner like me. I will definitely be buying from you again, especially as you are in Yorkshire!
hubby has already bagged this one and placed his order for a shirt. Prewashed and ironed easily. Excellent quality fabric at a very affordable price.
At first I was dubious because the price was so cheap but wow was I pleasantly surprised. The feel, the drape, the quality far exceeds it's price. My husband is very fussy about fabric against his skin and always wears a T-shirt under his shirts. Not with this one he was more then happy to wear it without it. That speaks volumes on its own.
I will definitely be buying more . Thank you so much for being affordable in times of austerity, it means alot xx
