Evergreen Plaid - Polyviscose

A plaid for the sewing room and the wardrobe. Evergreen Plaid is a classic green and blue check with a stylish, modern twist. It’s the kind of print that makes tailored pieces look polished and keeps casual ones looking sharp.

The polyviscose and acrylic blend feels soft and smooth, with the durability to match. The small amount of elastane adds a touch of stretch, so the fabric is comfortable to wear and easy to work with. It gives you room to move, whether the outfit is an everyday one or something smarter.

It’s a natural choice for tailored skirts, dresses, trousers, blazers and jackets. The sturdy weight suits home décor, such as cushion covers, upholstery accents or throws. It also works for bag making, from structured totes to casual backpacks.

Dressmaking ideas for this fabric:

• Skirts: tailored A-line, pencil and pleated skirts
• Dresses: pinafores, shirt dresses and structured day dresses
• Trousers: tailored and straight-leg trousers, plus shorts
• Jackets and blazers: blazers, shackets, waistcoats and cropped jackets
• Bags and home décor: structured totes, handbags, cushion covers and throws

Sewing tips for checks:

• Pre-wash or steam before cutting, as blends can shrink slightly
• Cut single layer, and match the check at side seams, centre fronts and pockets
• Buy a little extra fabric for matching, usually around 10 to 15%
• Use a sharp universal needle and a slightly longer stitch
• Lining jackets and skirts gives a clean finish and helps them hang well
