Stoney Leaf - Viscose Fabric

A neutral print that isn’t boring. Stoney Leaf has leaves in layered greys, black and taupe, with a splash of pink tucked into the leaf, so the colour is calm at a distance and a little surprising up close.

One fabric, two moods

Dress it up as an evening dress with heels, or whip off the heels and make it a relaxed summer dress for walking along the beach. The taupe base goes with so many colours that it’s easy to build outfits around.

How it wears

The viscose is breathable, soft and super comfortable, so it’s lovely against the skin from morning to night. The wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, so full skirts and long dresses are easy to lay out.

What to make

• Dresses: evening dresses, summer dresses, shirt dresses and wrap dresses
• Shirts and tops: relaxed shirts, boxy tops and camisoles
• Nightwear and loungewear: pyjama sets, nightshirts and relaxed trousers
• Trousers and skirts: wide-leg trousers, gathered skirts and bias-cut styles

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
• Cut single layer, so you can place the pink-touched leaves where you want them
• Press on a low heat from the reverse, with a pressing cloth if you have one
