Batik Style Fish - Viscose Fabric

A print with a story to tell. This viscose has a batik-inspired fish design, with the hand-painted, artisanal look of traditional batik. It’s full of character, and it makes every garment feel one-of-a-kind. The viscose is lightweight with a soft drape, so it flows beautifully in summer dresses, skirts and floaty tops, its unique print makes each creation stand out with character and style.

It also suits craft projects where you want a bold, characterful print.

It’s a great pick for holiday wardrobes and relaxed everyday makes, and it pairs well with plain linens and cottons.

Dressmaking ideas for this fabric:

• Dresses: summer dresses, shirt dresses, tiered dresses and kaftans

Sewing tips:

• Pre-wash gently before cutting, as viscose can shrink
• Use a sharp, fine needle and a medium-length stitch
• Finish seams neatly (French seams or overlocking) to stop fraying
