Nothing says picnic season like a crisp, cheerful gingham! This yarn-dyed, handwoven cotton was made for sunny days and shady trees—lightweight, breathable, and just rustic enough to feel right at home on a blanket in the grass. Featuring a mid-scale gingham check and woven by skilled artisans in India from 100% cotton, it combines breezy comfort with durability and end-of-life biodegradability. With its airy weave and structured drape, it's perfect for picnic-ready button-downs, shirtdresses, or relaxed trousers. Semi-opaque—just add a lining if needed and you’re good to go.
Masterfully produced by skilled artisans on traditional handlooms in India, this handcrafted textile was made using natural fibres and finished using azo-free dyes. For more than 30 years, our supplier has been sourcing high-quality handspun cotton yarn called Khadi, which is then traditionally weaved by artisans in a family-oriented homeworking environment. With its ethical sourcing and fair supply chain management, our supplier has had a positive impact on the traditional weaving community and the environment, through job creation, artisan empowerment, water conservation and a reduced carbon footprint.<br>

Wash
Always pretreat fabric before sewing to remove chemical sizing from the manufacturing process. Pre-washing also gives you a better sense of the true drape and handfeel of a fabric. We recommend washing and drying fabric in the same way you intend to wash your finished garment. Be sure to separate brights and colours, as some dyes and prints may run the first few times you wash them.
Long-Term Care
It’s important to wash and dry cotton to remove any potential shrinkage down the road. Machine wash in warm water and tumble dry on medium or hot. More delicate cottons like voile, double gauze or embroidered cottons should be washed by hand or on the delicate cycle.
Fabric Tips
Use a hot iron when pressing.

Lovely feel and beautiful weight
I’m in love with this fabric! The hand feel is beautiful and it has a great drape. I love the pistachio colour, it’s the perfect shade of green.
A delight to work with and heaven to wear. I made Sew House Seven's Rose City halter dress, and this fabric is perfect for it -- cool, breezy, but substantial enough to be really wearable. Softens nicely with washing. And so pretty!
The weight and drape on this fabric are lovely and the green color has a hint of vintage to it that I'm really into. The quality is obvious, and I'll be buying more colorways now that I've felt the fabric in person.
Excellent fabric! A dream to sew with.
