Pico Textiles Blue and White Tartan Plaid Flannel Fabric - 60 in Wide

Our review of Pico Textiles 10 Yards Bolt Blue and White Tartan Plaid Flannel finds it best suited to sewists and crafters who need a reliable, cozy cotton flannel in large quantity. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a true tartan pattern and substantial medium weight that makes it versatile for garments and home projects; the bolt format of 10 yard sections is convenient for larger sewing plans. The reviewer found the fabric soft to the touch, color-matched to the photos, and built to hold up to regular use, making it a practical choice for winter apparel and baby items.

Key Features

• Tartan Plaid Pattern: The blue and white plaid reproduces a classic tartan look that matches photos and works well for shirts, scarves and decorative throws.
• 100% Cotton: Natural cotton gives the flannel a breathable, soft hand that is comfortable next to skin for pajamas and receiving blankets.
• 60 in Width: A wide 60 in usable width reduces seams on larger projects such as blankets and quilts for a cleaner finish.
• Medium Weight: The moderate thickness provides good heat retention without being bulky, suitable for loungewear and light outer layers.
• Sold by 10 Yard Bolt: Bolts arrive in 10 yard sections so ordering multiple quantities yields additional bolts ideal for consistent yardage across larger projects.

Who It's For

The fabric is aimed at hobby sewers, makers of baby items and small-batch garment makers who value a soft, true-to-photo tartan and want enough yardage to avoid piecing patterns. It is especially useful for those who make pajamas, shirts, scarves, receiving blankets or cozy throws and need a dependable medium weight cotton.

Those who should look elsewhere include people seeking very lightweight summer shirting, synthetic performance blends, or prewashed, preshrunk specialty finishes not indicated by the product description. If a printed novelty or brushed synthetic is required, this plain cotton flannel will not meet that need.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good material quality with a soft, comfortable hand suitable for garments and baby items.
• Color and tartan pattern match images, providing predictable visual results for projects.
• Wide 60 in width and 10 yard bolt format make cutting large pieces simpler and reduce seam joins.
• Machine-washable resilience means the fabric can sustain regular use when cared for properly.

Cons

• Medium weight may be too warm for lightweight summer clothing or for makers who prefer thin shirting fabrics.
• Sold in 10 yard bolts only, so quantities ship as separate bolts which may be more fabric than casual crafters need.
