About

Sawtooth Stripe and Buffalo Check are a pair. An all-cotton (organic cotton) midweight (9 ounces per square yard) striped fabric, Sawtooth Stripe is the stripe to Buffalo Check's checks. But you don't have to use them together! Easy to sew into dresses, pants, shirts, napkins, tablecloths, curtains, bedsheets. And it is durable enough to use as upholstery – not heavy kids and pets all day long upholstery but a strong “occasional “ use rating so you can use it frequently. Pair it with Buffalo Check for fun complementing – or clashing - colors of checks and stripes.


Eco Facts


The Fabric Name

The sawtooth stripe is an ancient stripe in indigenous American art, with American referring to native peoples in North, Central, and South America. We offer our sawtooth stripe as part of the thinking that indigenous American art is part of shared Pan-American heritage, and inspires an authentic style of American modernism, distinguished from European trends.

We've done the work for you

Over the years, Patty and Leigh Anne dedicated tons of time researching ethical and sustainable production—how it’s done, and what the implications are to us (and to all living things)  and to our planet.  They even put it in their mission statement, a goal “to change the way textiles are being made” – kind of a reach for such an upstart little company, right?
