Woven Tinystripe Blue

Woven Tinystripe Blue belongs to Creating Memories, the Tilda range of small patterns grouped by season – this one sits in the summer palette of blues. The stripe is woven rather than printed, so the design shows on the reverse too and the fabric keeps the soft handle of a light shirting.

It is a true background fabric, the kind always worth having: sashing and block backgrounds, linings for bags and pouches, dresses and aprons for Tilda dolls, bias-cut ties and bindings. It sits happily next to the florals and dots of the rest of the collection. Pre-wash the cut before sewing, as shrinkage here can reach 5%.
