Description

Nautical charm with a rather distinguished designer twist! This wonderfully unusual 100% cotton seersucker features a deep navy background scattered with miniature maritime signal flags in shades of blue and white, alongside a certain pair of initials that might just ring a bell 😉 The gently puckered seersucker weave gives the fabric its lovely textured surface, making it light, breathable and wonderfully comfortable to wear. 

Originally produced for a well-known designer label, this is no ordinary shirting. The combination of tiny nautical motifs, subtle lettering and traditional seersucker texture gives it a distinctly preppy, country-club-meets-the-coast feel. Perfect for beautifully made shirts, relaxed summer blouses, shirt dresses, lightweight pyjamas and children's clothing. At 135cm wide, there's plenty of scope for something a little different.

What to make with it

What to make: This is crying out to be made into a beautifully finished button-down shirt, particularly a classic Oxford-style shirt with a collar, cuffs and button placket. The nautical print also lends itself to relaxed short-sleeved shirts, summer blouses, shirt dresses, casual tunics, lightweight pyjama sets and children's shirts. The puckered texture gives even simple shapes a lovely bit of interest without needing complicated details.

Sewing pattern recommendations: Merchant & Mills All State Shirt, Closet Core Kalle Shirt & Shirtdress, Grainline Studio Archer Button Up and Tilly and the Buttons Lyra Shirt Dress. Choose patterns designed for lightweight woven fabrics without stretch.

Notions recommendations: Navy or coordinating blue sewing thread, lightweight fusible interfacing for collars, cuffs and button plackets, small shirt buttons in navy, white or mother-of-pearl, and a fine 70/10 sewing machine needle. A sharp pair of embroidery scissors is useful for trimming threads around the smaller details.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
