Summer calls for stars, stripes, and this Wylie Red and White Checkered Polyester and Cotton Seersucker! The crinkled face (created by weaving tight and loose threads) is what visually distinguishes seersuckers from other fabrics. Functionally, seersuckers stand apart from the rest as their lightweight construction and cool, crisp hand—thanks to the cotton content—aid in combating the heat. Touching upon Americana, preppy, and nautical fashion trends, this red and white checkered fabric offers its playful look to a variety of sewing projects. Create breezy dresses, cute shorts, comfortable blazers, cool slacks, and more! Mostly opaque, a lining may be desired for added opacity and structure.
