A densely grown meadow: daisies, bellflowers, berries and grasses in pink, yellow, blue and green, with barely a free patch between them. That black ground shows only in the gaps, which is what makes the colours glow.
Because this pattern stands so dense there is no top or bottom — you can lay your pattern pieces wherever they waste least.
This is a French terry at 245 g/m² in 95 % cotton with 5 % elastane, smooth inside and pleasantly mid-weight. At 150 cm wide there is little waste. Wash at 30 degrees, skip your iron, keep it out of your tumble dryer.
What French Terry Malibou Blumenwiese bunt auf Schwarz by Swafing is suitable for
- Shirts and dresses, because a meadow shows best across a large area.
- Children's clothes, because that dark ground forgives marks.
- Pairings with plain black or pink, because both appear in the pattern.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to match the repeat?
This pattern repeats evenly and has no visible top or bottom. So you can place your pattern pieces freely and save fabric, because nothing needs lining up with repeats.
How should I wash this?
At 30 degrees, inside out, no bleach, no tumble dryer. That keeps your print crisp and the surface smooth. Hang your garment in shape to dry, so it needs hardly any smoothing afterwards.
Should I wash before cutting?
Yes, that pays off. Cotton pulls together slightly in a first wash. Wash your fabric once exactly as you will care for the finished piece, then your measurements still hold after sewing.
Which needle, which stitch?
A jersey needle and a stretch stitch will do; an overlocker is nice but never required. Sew without pulling your fabric, or seams will ripple once the garment lies flat again.
