Unwashed fabric. Shrinkage approximately 6-8%.

Gingham patterns bring a sense of effortless charm to this versatile linen fabric. Whether you’re drawn to rustic simplicity or clean, tailored lines, these patterns offer a beautiful foundation for home projects like table linens, curtains, or cushion covers and bags. The fabric softens beautifully with each wash, developing a relaxed, lived-in texture.

We recommend ordering a linen swatch before purchasing, as each piece is cut to order and therefore non-returnable unless faulty.

Ryan B. ★★★★★

Washed it before cutting and it shrank right around the 7% mark, so the 6-8% estimate is spot on. The red gingham is crisp and even, and at 190 gsm it holds a nice weight for curtains without feeling stiff. Already ordered more for napkins.

Scarlett ★★★★★

Ordered two metres to make café curtains and the weave is denser than I expected for 190 gsm. Washed it first and it shrank about 7%, so definitely pre-wash before cutting. The red is a proper deep shade, not orange at all.

Samuel ★★★★☆

The weave is a bit looser than I expected for 190 gsm, so I pre-washed it before cutting and it shrank about 7%, which matched the listing. Made a simple apron and the gingham still looks crisp after two washes.
