What is this stretch tartan fabric

This fabric is a blend of polyester, viscose and elastane, woven in a diagonal twill weave you often see in gabardine qualities. Thanks to that twill structure, the fabric looks crisp and neat, with a subtle sheen that stays understated thanks to the matte finish. The addition of elastane gives a slight stretch across the width of the fabric, so garments move with a bit more give without the tartan pattern distorting. It's a medium weight fabric with moderate drape, so it falls nicely but also has enough body for structured designs. If you're after a Scottish fabric with substance yet a bit of stretch, this is a solid choice.

Uses and projects

The Red Stuwart tartan is a real classic and suits a range of sewing projects, especially in autumn and winter.

• Skirts and kilts in traditional or modern cuts
• Blazers and jackets with a Scottish twist
• Trousers with a neat, recognizable pattern
• Dresses for a festive or classic look
• Uniforms and guild clothing
• Choir wear, where the width stretch gives extra freedom of movement when singing and standing
• Skirts and jackets for school uniforms
• Accessories like scarves or ties in tartan

Especially for choir wear and guild clothing, this fabric is a smart choice. The sturdy twill holds its shape well, which matters for garments worn and washed regularly, while the slight stretch across the width keeps the fit comfortable, even during longer standing or movement sessions. The classic Red Stuwart pattern also looks representative and recognizable, exactly what you want in uniform clothing for a group.
