More About This Fabric
Millefiore – Dark by Kaffe Fassett is a striking cotton lawn with a beautifully intricate, almost mosaic-like design.The print is made up of overlapping circular and floral motifs, each packed with tiny details, layered petals, spirals and decorative shapes. A dark charcoal and black base gives the fabric real depth, while jewel-like shades of cobalt blue, turquoise, teal, magenta, violet and muted rose bring the design to life.
The mix of large medallion-style shapes and smaller floral elements creates a rich, artistic surface with plenty to discover, making it an ideal choice for a statement garment.
Printed on lightweight cotton lawn, the fabric has a smooth, soft handle with gentle drape and enough stability to make it straightforward to sew. The darker palette gives Millefiore – Dark a slightly more dramatic and sophisticated feel while still retaining Kaffe Fassett’s unmistakable use of colour.
This Fabric Is Perfect For...
Dresses, blouses and shirts, summer tops, gathered skirts, tiered dresses, lightweight trousers or shorts, pyjamas, statement linings and accessories.I think shirt dresses, softly gathered dresses and blouses with interesting sleeve details would look particularly beautiful in this one.

Sewing Notes
Recommended Needle:
Microtex needle
Pre-wash your fabric before cutting, using the same method you intend to use for the finished garment.
Use a fine universal or Microtex needle, approximately size 70/10, together with a good-quality all-purpose polyester thread.
Because this lawn is lightweight, fine pins or sewing clips will help avoid marking the fabric. A standard straight stitch of around 2–2.5 mm works well.
Lightweight interfacing is recommended for areas such as collars, cuffs, button bands and facings.
The detailed, multi-directional print is relatively forgiving when cutting and makes pattern matching less important than it would be with a strong stripe or large directional motif.
Finish seams with an overlocker, zigzag stitch or French seams for a particularly neat finish on lightweight garments.
