Flamingo Paradise - Viscose Fabric

This delightful fabric features charming flamingos gracefully dancing across a pristine white background, so the print feels fresh, bright and cheerful, a little slice of paradise for your wardrobe.

Made for warm weather

The viscose is soft and lightweight, with a smooth texture, and it’s breathable, so it stays comfortable when the temperature rises. It drapes beautifully, which gives a swishy, flowing look to anything you sew, from a breezy summer dress to a gathered skirt.

What to make

• Dresses: summer dresses, shirt dresses, tea dresses and wrap dresses
• Blouses and tops: chic blouses, camisoles and tie-neck tops
• Skirts: gathered, tiered 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
• Press on a low heat from the reverse, with a pressing cloth if you have one
• White grounds can show through, so consider a lining or slip for skirts
