Introduction:
Mocha Micro Check is a beautifully soft, lightweight, 100% cotton, super fine, designer, Italian woven, poplin woven with a micro check design.
Colour:
Silky fine cotton yarns in natural white sit on the warp, whilst fine natural white alternates with milky mocha-hued yarn throughout the weft. The combination of the two creates the micro check and an all-over milky mocha tone.
Properties:
This first-rate cotton poplin fabric boasts a very soft, smooth, hand with a soft drape quality perfect for forming pretty ruffles and tiered gather. Its excellent stability is of course perfect for classic shirts and blouses with the help of a little interfacing on collar cuffs and button bands.
Garment Suggestions:
Mocha fine shirting is suitable for a plethora of projects, don't just think that cotton shirting is for shirts alone! Make up your favourite indie shirt pattern or try shell tops, simple vest style tops, shirt dresses and tunic tops & tea dresses.
Other great uses for this fab shirting are prairie/ buffet dress styles with tiered and gathered skirts or '80s styles with dropped waists, lightweight trousers, jumpsuits, playsuits, culottes and shorts. Equally perfect for traditional children's rompers with smocked bodices!
Put this fabulous fabric to use for '50s skater-style fit & flare dresses with cinched waistlines and deeply pleated skirts to create the Joan from Mad Men look.
Accessorise these stand-alone pieces with colour-matched patent-navy shoes and handbags to create a classic combination. Create the ultimate '70s-inspired Kaftan dress with Sew Different's Camomile Kaftan or a wonderfully Boho ruffled wrap dress with the Darjeeling Frock.
Key pieces such as simple shirts and tops will make a workable capsule wardrobe when teamed with your jeans, plain trousers and skirts. Shirt-dresses, tunics and play/ jumpsuits are also excellent choices to make from this cool cotton classic.
The Megan Nielsen Patterns' Protea Capsule Wardrobe would make perfect examples of pretty full-gathered styles for easy, stunning outfits and so versatile!

Team this versatile coffee-toned fabric with all manner of other colours and designs as a reliable grounding grey/beige neutral in your patchwork and applique projects.
