Deep blue, petrol and purple run into each other in broad bands, with pale zones and golden lines between. Of these five marble colourways it is the darkest, highest in contrast.
100 % polyester, 210 g/m², 145 cm wide — listed as a waterproof outdoor fabric, so meant for whatever gets used outside. Its weight sits in the middle: a bag stands by itself without a length turning unwieldy on your cutting table. By the metre from 0.2 metres. Washing at 30 degrees is allowed; pressing, bleaching, tumble drying are not — light marks wipe off damp anyway, which is the gift of a smooth surface.
What Outdoorstoff Flowing Bloom Marbels in blau/lila Töne by Swafing von Sarah Mariam is suitable for
- Rucksacks, because dark shades cope with wear.
- Shoulder bags, because this pattern shows without turning gaudy.
- Pairings with plain petrol, because that shade sits in the print.
Frequently asked questions
Does a bag need lining?
Not strictly, because this cloth looks decent on both sides and does not fray. A lining does make a bag sturdier while hiding seam allowances — on larger models it pays off.
Do I need to match the repeat?
This motif flows without a visible top or bottom. So you can lay pattern pieces freely; only on large symmetrical pieces is it worth checking where the strongest colour fields land.
How much fabric does a bag take?
A mid-sized shopper usually takes half a metre at this width, a rucksack nearer a whole one. Count pockets, flaps and base in — those often come out of offcuts.
Do I need to finish the edges?
It barely frays, because polyester is densely woven and that coating holds the yarns. On load-bearing seams a finished or bound edge still lasts longer.
