Woven Plaid Burgundy

Woven Plaid Burgundy belongs to Creating Memories, the Tilda range of small-scale fabrics grouped by season: this burgundy with its white grid is part of the winter palette, made to sit alongside the reds and greens of the same collection. The check is woven rather than printed, so the pattern reads the same on both sides and the cloth keeps a soft, homespun feel.

The small, regular design works well for quilt blocks, linings, little bags, cushions and Christmas decorations, and it also suits doll bodies, dresses and pinafores. Pre-wash the fabric before cutting, as yarn-dyed wovens can shrink noticeably. For long strips, choose one of the larger cuts.
