Mediterranean Red - Polka Dot Poplin

Introduction: 

Perfect polka dots! Mediterranean Red - Polka Dot Poplin is a timeless classic design and beloved by film icons to international designers. Perfect as a stand-alone statement or super cute sitting alongside, pinstripes, florals and ginghams.

Colour:

Mediterranean Red is an orange-red with slight terracotta hints that form the perfect backdrop to tiny 1mm polka dots in fresh white as delicious as sun-baked Italian tomatoes, peppers and chillis served up with fresh white mozzarella!

Properties:

Mediterranean Red boasts a soft and silky hand thanks to fine yarns and a super stable close weave. This cool cotton poplin will form perfectly pretty gathers, pin-tucks and pleats with ease and maintain a soft drape quality with good body. This poplin is lightweight but by no means flimsy or thin and ideal for a host of dressmaking and crafting possibilities.

Garment Suggestions:

Perfect for summer dresses and shirts & blouses. Choose retro style patterns for classic movie star looks like '40s/'50s blouses. Make up your favourite shirt pattern or make T-shirt style - shell tops, simple vest style tops, shirt dresses and tunic tops. Other great uses for this fab shirting are tea dress styles with gathered skirts and dropped waists, lightweight trousers, jumpsuits, playsuits, culottes and shorts. 

Equally perfect for traditional styles like piped collar pyjamas and children's rompers with smocked bodices, add a fresh white cotton collar for a clean contrast. Use alongside, florals, stripes and checks from our vast range to create super cute country styles like the Sew Different Layer Up Collection.

Patchwork, applique, bag lining and countless other craft purposes.
