Viscose
Looking for a fabric with beautiful drape and a soft, smooth feel? Viscose is a popular choice for sewing garments that move well and create a lovely flowing finish, from everyday tops and dresses to skirts and wide leg pants.
At Wicked Fabrics, I've curated a selection of viscose blend fabrics for home sewists and small handmade businesses looking for versatile materials for their handmade wardrobes. Whether you're planning a relaxed blouse, a flowing dress or a pair of tailored trousers, viscose blends offer plenty of options for different sewing projects.
Why choose viscose fabrics?
-
Soft Handle: Viscose is known for its smooth feel, making it a popular choice for clothing worn close to the skin.
-
Beautiful Drape: Its fluid movement suits garments where you want a softer silhouette, including dresses, blouses and skirts.
-
Versatile for Sewing: Depending on the fabric construction and blend, viscose can work well for tops, shirts, dresses, pants and lightweight layers.
-
A Range of Fabric Blends: Viscose is often blended with fibres such as linen or elastane to create different textures, levels of stretch and fabric characteristics.
-
Everyday Wardrobe Options: Choose a fabric that suits your pattern, whether you're sewing a simple staple or something with a little more movement.
When choosing a viscose fabric, consider your sewing pattern's recommendations, the fabric's weight and drape, and whether it has any stretch. Some viscose fabrics can also require more careful handling during cutting and sewing, so check the individual product details before getting started.
If you're unsure about the colour, texture or drape, ordering a swatch is a practical way to see and feel the fabric before purchasing by the metre.
