Scattered Leaf Mustard - Viscose Fabric

We love this one, and it’s easy to see why. Small white leaves are scattered across a warm mustard background, a fresh, cheerful print that goes with plenty of colours and suits most skin tones.

Why it’s so easy to sew

Because the leaves run all over the cloth in every direction, there’s no pattern to match and no direction to worry about. You can lay your pieces out however you like and waste very little. The wide width gives you plenty of room to cut, so full skirts and wide legs fit easily.

How it wears

The viscose is breathable and drapey, so it flows when you move and gives your garments an elegant line. It feels soft and comfortable against the skin, so it works for casual days and smarter occasions.

What to make

Blouses, dresses and skirts are the obvious choices. It’s just as good for trousers, relaxed tops and jumpsuits. Mustard looks lovely with navy, cream, denim and olive, so it’s easy to build outfits around.

Sewing tips:

• Wash gently before cutting, as viscose can shrink
• Choose a fine, sharp needle and a medium stitch length
• Neaten seams to stop fraying, with French seams, an overlocker, a zigzag stitch or bias binding
