Foxes with bushy tails, hedgehogs and little mushrooms scatter loosely across a dark petrol ground, with twigs and leaves in orange and rust between them. Those motifs stay small — from two steps away this cloth reads as a quiet scatter pattern.
Which is what makes it wearable in larger sizes too, where a big animal motif quickly turns childish.
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 Fuchs und Igel im Pilzwald Petrol by Swafing is suitable for
- Children's clothes in autumn, because fox and hedgehog suit the season.
- Shirts for adults, because these motifs stay small and quiet.
- Pairings with plain petrol or rust, because both colours sit in the print.

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 much fabric do I need?
An adult shirt usually takes one to one and a half metres, children's sizes less. Check your sewing pattern and compare its stated fabric width against the one given here.
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.
Does this fabric curl when cut?
Knitted fabrics tend to curl at a cut edge. Spread your fabric out flat before cutting and work with weights or plenty of pins, then those edges stay where you want them.
