More About This Fabric

Animal print, but with a colourful twist.

Purple Prowl features bold leopard-style markings in a rich, inky purple scattered across a warm natural background. The irregular spots give it that unmistakable animal-print feel, while the unexpected purple colour makes it feel fresh, playful and a little different from a traditional leopard.

Printed on a beautifully soft viscose twill, the fabric has a fluid drape with a little more body than a standard viscose lawn or challis. The subtle twill weave gives the surface a lovely finish and helps the fabric hang beautifully.

Perfect for everything from a simple blouse to a swishy dress or pair of relaxed trousers, Purple Prowl is an easy way to add a little animal print to your wardrobe without reaching for the usual browns and blacks.

Care Instructions

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle
Wash with similar colours
Do not bleach
Do not tumble dry
Reshape while damp and air dry
Iron on a low to medium heat on the reverse
We recommend pre-washing before cutting, as viscose can shrink slightly on the first wash
For best results, avoid overloading the washing machine and remove promptly after washing to help minimise creasing.

This Fabric Is Perfect For...

Perfect for dresses, blouses, shirts, skirts, wide-leg and relaxed trousers, jumpsuits and co-ords.

Viscose twill has beautiful fluidity and movement while generally having a little more body than very lightweight viscose, making it particularly lovely for garments where you want drape without the fabric feeling too floaty.

Think swishy midi dresses, relaxed button-up shirts, bias-cut skirts, softly tailored trousers and easy jumpsuits.

Sewing Notes

Recommended Needle:
Microtex 60-80

Viscose twill is beautifully drapey, so take a little extra care during cutting to prevent the fabric from shifting. Cutting in a single layer can help with accuracy, particularly when working with larger pattern pieces or when you want to control print placement.

Use a fine, sharp needle — around 70/10 or 80/12 — and a good-quality polyester thread.

Fine pins or sewing clips are ideal, and a walking foot can be helpful if you find the layers moving against one another while sewing.

Staystitch curved or bias-cut areas such as necklines and armholes soon after cutting to help prevent them from stretching out of shape.

Because viscose can grow slightly once hanging, it's a good idea to allow skirts and dresses to hang before hemming, particularly with full, flared or bias-cut styles.

Finish your seams with an overlocker, zigzag stitch or your preferred enclosed seam finish for a neat result.
