Made in Italy, this 100% cotton yarn-dyed shirting fabric features a refined arrangement of fine blue and white woven stripes. The combination of varying stripe widths and delicate woven details gives this fabric a classic shirting look with added depth and visual texture.

At just 100 gsm, this shirting is lightweight, breathable and comfortable against the skin. It has the crisp yet lightweight character that works particularly well for button-up shirts and blouses while remaining versatile enough for dresses, tops and other warm-weather garments.

Yarn-Dyed Woven Stripes

The striped design is yarn dyed, meaning the yarns are dyed before the fabric is woven rather than the stripe pattern being printed onto the finished cloth. This construction integrates the blue and white pattern directly into the weave and gives the fabric its finely detailed appearance.

The pattern combines different widths and densities of blue and white stripes, creating more visual interest than a simple uniform stripe. From a distance, it reads as a fresh blue-and-white shirting, while up close, the intricate woven details become more apparent.

Ideal for Shirts, Blouses & Lightweight Garments

This Italian cotton shirting is an excellent choice for garments where a lightweight, breathable woven fabric is desired. Its classic blue-and-white colour palette makes it easy to incorporate into both casual and more polished wardrobes.

The directional stripe also offers plenty of opportunities for creative pattern placement. Try changing the direction of the stripes on pockets, yokes, cuffs, collars or button plackets to add subtle contrast to your finished garment.

Recommended projects:

• Button-up shirts
• Oversized shirts
• Blouses
• Shirt dresses
• Summer dresses
• Lightweight tops
• Pyjama sets
• Lightweight skirts

Sewing Tips

For best results, use a Universal or Microtex 70/10 needle with lightweight all-purpose thread. When cutting your pattern pieces, pay attention to stripe placement at centre fronts, side seams, pockets and yokes if you would like the stripes to match across seams.

We recommend pre-washing before cutting using the same washing method you plan to use for the finished garment.

Please note: Colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen and lighting conditions.

Due to the different color variations of each monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the color will exactly match what you see online.
