Rainbow Madras Check

We couldn't resist this happy rainbow check! This colorful Madras fabric is pure joy. We love how the different colored yarns weave together to create unexpected shades and a beautiful, slightly textured finish that gives this fabric so much character. It's playful, nostalgic, and full of personality, just the kind of fabric that makes us excited to start a new sewing project!

Madras cotton is a lovely fabric to sew with, especially if you enjoy working with lightweight woven cottons. Its plain weave makes it relatively easy to cut, pin, and stitch, while the slightly textured surface gives it a relaxed, handmade feel.

Choose this fabric when you want something lightweight, breathable, and full of personality. It's especially great for warm-weather sewing, relaxed shapes, and projects where you want a little volume without too much weight. The colorful woven checks add plenty of visual interest, making even the simplest sewing patterns feel extra special.

Great for:

• Breezy button-up shirts and relaxed tops
• Gathered dresses and playful skirts
• Lightweight shorts and easy summer pants
• Matching sets and everyday separates
• Pajamas and comfortable loungewear
• Simple accessories and colorful patchwork projects

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low or hang to dry. We recommend prewashing before cutting, as natural cotton fabrics may shrink. Because of the vibrant yarn-dyed colors, we suggest washing separately for the first few washes to check for any color bleeding.

We do our best to photograph our fabrics as accurately as possible, but colors may vary slightly depending on your screen settings. We always recommend ordering a swatch if you're unsure about a color.
