Digital Leaves Crinkle Viscose Fabric – Lightweight Breathable Fabric for Dressmaking

Digital Leaves Viscose fabric has big palm and monstera leaves overlapping across the cloth, in burgundy, rust, deep teal and navy, with cream showing through in the gaps. The colours blend into each other like watercolour, so the print looks rich and a little bit dramatic, with the warmth of a tropical evening. It’s a statement print, and the colours are earthy enough to wear with plain pieces.

The surface has a subtle crinkle, which gives the fabric some character and a softly textured look. The viscose is breathable, with a drape that moves, and a tropical print looks right in warm weather, so it’s an obvious choice for holiday sewing. The crinkle means it travels well, since a little creasing from the suitcase won’t show. Wear it with sandals and gold jewellery, and you’re done.
