Organic Washed Cotton Jumbo Gingham Fabric - Shell

Shell is a soft pale pink and white jumbo gingham with a generous 27mm check that gives the classic pattern a fresh, graphic feel. The delicate pink keeps the colourway understated, while the larger check gives it plenty of presence in a finished garment.

Made from organic cotton, it has a cosy, substantial handle similar to a fine cotton flannel, without the brushed surface. It remains breathable enough for year-round wear, while the gently washed, crinkled finish gives the fabric relaxed texture and an easy, already-loved feel.

The check is woven from dyed threads rather than printed, giving the pink lovely depth and making both sides look equally good. We’d make Shell into an oversized shirt, relaxed midi dress, wide-leg trousers or pinafore. It would also be beautiful as a boxy overshirt or lightweight chore jacket.
