Buy Tartan Plaids, Gingham Checks & Tailoring Fabrics Online
Check print fabric is an enduring favourite across dressmaking, tailoring, and interior design. Defined by intersecting horizontal and vertical bands of colour, check patterns range from subtle, refined Prince of Wales checks for professional suiting to bold, vibrant tartan plaids and nostalgic gingham. Whether you are tailoring a sharp blazer, sewing a pleated tartan skirt, crafting casual picnic accessories, or making custom cushions, our check fabric collection offers high-quality woven and printed options in a variety of weights and textures.

How do you match check print fabric across garment seams?
Cut pattern pieces in a single flat layer rather than folded. Align horizontal check lines across seam notches carefully before pinning, and use plenty of dressmaking pins inserted perpendicular to the seam line to prevent shifting while stitching.
