Khaki Ticking Fabric: Classic Stripes for Home Sewing
Khaki ticking fabric brings timeless, relaxed style to almost any sewing project. Its tightly woven stripes in warm tan and cream tones feel classic without being fussy, making it a favorite for farmhouse, coastal, and cottage-inspired spaces.
Why Choose Khaki Ticking?
Ticking was originally woven to cover mattresses and pillows, so it was designed to be durable and hold its shape. Today, ticking stripe fabric is prized for that same sturdiness and its clean, understated pattern. The khaki colorway is especially versatile because it pairs easily with whites, blues, reds, and natural wood finishes.

What to Look For
When shopping for cotton ticking fabric, check the fiber content, weight, and stripe width. Heavier weaves suit upholstery and bags, while lighter weights drape better for curtains. Consider whether you want narrow pinstripes or bolder bands, and pre-wash cotton before cutting to account for shrinkage.
