Scattered Leaf Cornflower - Viscose Fabric

This one’s a firm favourite of ours, and cornflower blue gives it a fresh, summery look. The leaves are scattered all over the cloth, so the pattern is calm and easy to wear, and it goes with plenty of colours in your wardrobe.

Easy to cut

The print runs in every direction, so you can lay your pattern pieces out any way you like without matching motifs. The wide width gives you plenty of room to cut, which helps when you’re making full skirts or wide-leg trousers.

Lovely to wear

The viscose is breathable and drapey, and it flows in soft, elegant lines. It has a luxurious feel against the skin, with a comfortable fit that works for casual days and smarter occasions.
