Burnout Jaquard Tie Dye - Forest

Make a statement, softly. This printed jacquard tie dye mixes forest green turquoise tones in a rich, earthy pattern with a modern edge. It’s the kind of fabric that turns a simple pattern into something special.

The blend of viscose and polyester gives it the best of both. It’s supple and lightweight, with a beautiful drape, yet resilient enough to wear and wash well. A small amount of stretch adds ease of movement, so garments feel comfortable as well as stylish. At 155cm wide and 180gsm, there’s plenty of room to cut and a nice weight for flowing styles.

This fabric is semi-sheer, which is part of its charm. The burnout pattern lets a little light through, giving it depth and a modern, delicate look. For garments that need full coverage, such as dresses, skirts and trousers, we recommend a lining or slip in a matching or contrasting colour. A contrast lining can look lovely too, as it shows through the pattern. For blouses, shirts and lightweight jackets, it works beautifully worn over a camisole or top.

Dressmaking ideas for this fabric:

• Dresses: evening dresses, summer dresses, wrap dresses and shirt dresses
• Tops: blouses, shirts and statement tops
• Trousers: wide-leg trousers and palazzo pants
• Jackets: lightweight jackets, kimonos and overshirts
• Co-ords: matching sets for a head-to-toe look

Sewing tips:

• Pre-wash gently before cutting, as the viscose can shrink
• Use a sharp, fine needle and a medium-length stitch
• Finish seams neatly (French seams or overlocking) to stop fraying
• This fabric is semi-sheer, so plan a lining or underlayer for dresses, skirts and trousers
• Choose a lining in a similar weight and a stretch fabric, such as a viscose or jersey lining, so the garment keeps its drape and stretch
• Test your lining colour under the fabric before cutting
• Press on a low heat, on the reverse, and test on a scrap first
