viscose challis

 

This vintage look print captured every one of us...how could we not get it?  A soft black ground supports clusters of roses in cherry red, marigold yellow, salmon and sand accented in soft green, iris and white.  Rather than solid, the florals are speckled giving the print an antique feel.  The fine viscose woven has drape and stability.  It will work well for dresses long or short with some fullness to the silhouette.  Blouses or tunics will fall gently from the shoulders. 

  
viscose  knit               

 
 Classic colors, unconventional design makes this viscose printed knit a must-have for warm weather casual dressing.  Navy ground supporting rows of white ornamental
dangles.  It will be useful for tops and tees along with a great look for short dresses or traditionally styled wrap dresses.
 
viscose challis                
 
This fabulous mixed-print rayon is wonderful for long garments to showcase the complex print.  The photos do the best job of describing this print. The colors are bright without screaming featuring red berry, golden yellow, bright aqua and tangerine.  The designs vary from mille fleurs to paisley and ornamentals blocked in a collage format.  Whether you choose a tunic, maxi skirt or maxi dress, you'll be pleased with the drape of the fabric for comfort and casual styling.  This unique offering was digitally printed in France and is one for the resource center.  You never know when this will be just what you're looking for! 
  
fine cotton poplin                     
 
This very fine poplin is perfect for all your warm weather wardrobe needs--shorts, bermudas, crops, ankle pants or trousers.  Prefer to use it on top? ... then style a "jeans" jacket or one button blazer. We love the fun colors. Bluebell is a clear floral blue that will work with white, denim and prints that echo the clarity of the color. Aqualine is a toned down pastel, working with white and subtle pastel prints. Saffron is muddy yellow supporting all of today's prints that feature that color.

with Patty E

Patty E got right to work on Leopard and Lace! She has sewn a very comfy maxi dress for the warmer times to come.



Hi - I made this outfit with the Leopard & Lace viscose jersey I bought from you recently. 
The skirt is McCall's 6966...a combination of views B and C.  The top is my tnt tee pattern Pamela's Patterns Perfect T-shirt and I lopped off about 7" to make it a crop.
Thanks so much for the fabric...happy sewing!
Patty

Looks great Patty! Soo summery!
