I love the brightening effect of the yellow.
There are 3 sizes of this plaid in the full collection: large, medium and small. If you want another size, just ask.
I see this design used for shirts, blouses, dresses, possibly tote bags. For the small version think doll clothes, or a quilt for a doll or small family pet.
Plaids are also great for quilts! I always set my designs as available for wall paper as well as fabric, because one never knows what clever idea a maker will come up with.
Plaids are just about THE most successful design ever created and are available in just about any color combination you could imagine. Here is an interesting article about plaids from the Smithsonian: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/brief-history-plaid-180957342/
This next URL has photos of some lovely ways to combine plaids with gingham or florals in a quilt: https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/plaid-checkered-fabric-what-do-t182991.html
As for garment sewing - vests, jackets, shirts, blouses and dresses are all great candidates for a plaid fabric. This next URL shows inspiring photos of plaid garments, and also offers instruction on how to work with a plaid fabric: https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/article/working-with-plaid-fabric/
Thanks for stopping by my shop.
