Discover the authentic charm of Brabants Bont L Oker, a timeless fabric by the metre that brings warmth and a cosy feel to your sewing projects. Also known as Vichy check or farmer’s check, this cotton fabric is woven from 100% cotton in a firm yet smooth poplin weave. The characteristic check of around 15 millimetres in a beautiful ochre tone is created by weaving coloured and white yarns together, giving the fabric a durable, woven-in pattern. With a weight of 135 g/m² and a width of 145 cm, this Oeko-Tex certified fabric is a reliable choice for many makes.

From nostalgic kitchen curtains to stylish blouses

The possibilities with this Brabants Bont are almost endless. The fabric has a smoothness rating of 4/5, which means it drapes surprisingly softly for a cotton poplin. That makes it ideal not only for classic interior projects such as tablecloths, curtains or cushion covers, but also for dressmaking fabric. It is easy to cut and sew, so it is a favourite with both beginners and experienced makers. Thanks to the plain weave, it is strong, breathable and pleasant against the skin.

Use it to make a classic blouse, a floaty summer dress or a comfortable skirt. It is also a lovely choice for children’s clothes, nightwear or a unique quilt project. The warm ochre colour gives every garment a cheerful yet stylish look. For best results, wash the fabric at 30 degrees before sewing. With Brabants Bont L Oker, you bring a touch of timeless Dutch tradition to your sewing.
