Shades: Ice Cream Tattersall Check features a fresh palette perfect for teaming with practical country greens and natural tan hues. A soft cream base is intersected by overchecks of pistachio green, soft caramel beige, and strawberry sauce pink. The perfect combination of uplifting summer hues, practical enough to wear with all your classic country wardrobe staples.
Design: Tattersall refers to a type of check pattern created by combining evenly spaced horizontal stripes with evenly spaced vertical stripes. Each stripe has a width of around 2mm in traditional variations. The checks formed were originally rectangular, due to the horizontal stripes being more widely spaced than the vertical stripes. However, modern-day Tattersall checks are now often square. Usually, Tattersall fabric consists of either two or three coloured lines on a lighter colour background. Here, this classic country check is presented in a crisp cotton poplin.
Overall: A fresh, optimistic colour story that feels easy, breezy, and effortlessly wearable, perfect for warm-weather dressing.
Properties:
Texture: Smooth and lightly crisp to the touch, with the clean finish typical of cotton poplin, offering breathability and everyday comfort.
Handle: Stable and easy to work with, this fabric cuts and sews beautifully, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced makers.
Drape: A soft, controlled drape that holds shape well, perfect for garments requiring structure with a relaxed feel.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Perfect for timeless, wearable pieces, this cotton poplin is ideally suited to classic shirts and blouses, shirt dresses, summer dresses, tunics, and relaxed skirts. Its breathable handle and stable structure also make it a great choice for lightweight trousers, co-ords, and casual layering pieces, where comfort and crisp detail are equally important.
Patterns: We would suggest patterns such as the Arya Pleat Dress, the Charlie Caftan, the Elodie Dress, the Fender Smock, the Fleetwood Frock, the Fran Pajama, the Jenna Shirt, the Joti Duster Jacket and the Megan Nielsen Protea.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Perfect for scarves, neckerchiefs, fabric headbands, scrunchies, lightweight tote bags, and soft make-up bags.
Furnishings: Ideal for delicate soft furnishings such as cushion covers, curtain panels, lampshades, and table linens where a lighter drape is desired.
Upcycling: Use offcuts for patchwork projects, quilt blocks, bunting, gift wrap, lavender bags, or to refresh and embellish existing garments.
