Abstract Funk Viscose Fabric

Make the print everyone asks about. This designer-style viscose has a playful abstract design, a lively mix of colours finished with black dashes for a modern, edgy feel. It looks like something from the high street, and you can make it yourself.

It’s made for dressmaking. The fabric is breathable and lightweight, with a beautiful drape and a soft touch, so it moves with you and feels comfortable all day. At 150cm wide, there’s plenty of room to cut. It’s ideal for flowing dresses, blouses, skirts, trousers and statement tops, and it’s a great way to recreate the latest high-street trends in your own wardrobe.

Whether you’re adding a pop of colour to your everyday wear or making a showstopping outfit, this print has so many possibilities.

• Press on a low heat from the reverse, with a pressing cloth if you have one
