Pico Textiles Light Blue Tartan Plaid Flannel Fabric - 3 Yard Bolt

Our review of the Pico Textiles Light Blue Tartan Plaid Flannel Fabric finds it best suited for home sewists and small-batch makers who want a soft, traditional cotton flannel for shirts, pajamas, scarves and baby items. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a true 60' width with cotton construction sold in convenient 3 yard bolt sections, which reduces seams and saves cutting time when making wide projects. The fabric's medium weight and tartan pattern offer warmth without bulk, and the machine-washable nature makes it practical for everyday garments and cozy throws.

Key Features

• 100% Cotton: Natural fiber gives breathable comfort and a soft hand ideal for next-to-skin garments and baby blankets.
• 60' Wide: Extra width reduces the need for piecing on wide projects like throws, receiving blankets and adult shirts.
• Medium Weight: Offers good heat retention for cooler months while remaining light enough for layered loungewear.
• Tartan Plaid Design: Classic light blue plaid provides a timeless look that suits shirts, scarves and coordinated family pajamas.
• Sold in 3 Yard Bolts: Each quantity equals a 3 yard section so ordering multiple quantities ships as separate bolts for consistent dye and pattern runs.
• Easy Care: Resilient cotton construction stands up to regular laundering for practical everyday use.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at hobby sewists, small designers and crafters making clothing, pajamas, scarves and baby swaddles who value wider-than-standard widths to minimize seams. The soft cotton and medium weight work well for winter loungewear, children's playwear and cozy home items such as throws and receiving blankets.

Those who need technical performance fabrics, water resistance, or very lightweight summer shirting should look elsewhere; this is a medium weight cotton flannel meant for warmth and comfort rather than technical outdoor or hot-weather use.
