Description
This viscose woven falls into soft folds rather than standing away — exactly what separates it from cotton. At 140 cm wide its weight per square metre is 130 g/m². It is woven from 12 % polyamide and 88 % Rayon.
Natural reads softer than white and lighter than brown. Exactly between them lies the range where natural fabrics look best. A leaf pattern reads calmer than a floral print and therefore suits plain cuts as well. If you sew fluid goods for the first time, lay tissue paper under the seam; it stops puckering.
What Viscose Woven Leaves in Natural is suitable for
- blouses and tunics
- summer dresses

Frequently asked questions
What do I do with offcuts?
Facings, pocket bags, bindings and hair ties. Fluid goods work well even in narrow strips, as long as the edge is enclosed. For neckerchiefs and hair ties an offcut that would otherwise be scrap is plenty.
How do I finish thin wovens?
Most cleanly with a French seam: the raw edges are enclosed in the seam and nothing shows outside. Alternatively with an overlocker, if the fabric is not too fine.
How do I recognise good drape?
By its behaviour over your hand: a fabric with drape falls into soft folds instead of standing. The softer the drape, the wider the cut may be without looking shapeless.
May it go in the dryer?
Better not. Viscose shrinks noticeably there, and polyester does not need it since it dries fast anyway. Hung up and pressed slightly damp, both look better.
