A Note About Product/fabric Colours

We photograph almost all of our fabrics and products ourselves and take great care to represent their colours as accurately as possible.

However, colours may appear slightly different in real life due to lighting, photography and variations in individual screen and monitor settings. For this reason, we cannot guarantee an exact colour match.

We kindly ask that you keep this in mind before placing your order. If an exact shade is essential to your project, or you're unsure about a colour shown in our photographs, we recommend contacting us before purchasing.

Please note that slight colour variations between our photographs and the actual product are not considered faults and are not, on their own, grounds for a refund.

More About This Fabric

With its free-flowing floral outlines and cheerful little details, Doodle in Bloom has the charm of a page from a sketchbook. Pale pink flowers and winding stems wander across a chocolate-brown background, punctuated by brighter raspberry buds and petals.

The pink-and-brown combination brings a gentle retro feel to this playful design. Make a relaxed sweatshirt to pair with jeans, an easy hoodie for weekend wear or a comfortable sweatshirt dress.

Pick out the pale pink or raspberry tones with contrast ribbing, or choose chocolate brown for a coordinated finish.

Sewing Notes

Recommended Needle:
Jersey Machine Needles

Use a ballpoint or stretch needle, approximately 80/12 or 90/14, depending on the weight of the fabric.

This sweatshirting can be sewn using an overlocker or on a regular sewing machine using a stretch stitch or narrow zigzag. Maraflex thread is also a great option if you prefer to sew stretch fabrics with a straight stitch on your regular machine.

Because the reverse is beautifully soft and fluffy, you may notice a little extra fluff while cutting and sewing — keeping a lint brush or small vacuum handy is useful!

Try not to stretch the fabric as you sew. A walking foot can be helpful, particularly when sewing thicker seams or several layers together.

For hems, use a twin needle, coverstitch machine or stretch stitch to give a neat finish while allowing the fabric to retain its stretch.

If your pattern includes cuffs, neckbands or waistbands, a coordinating ribbing would work beautifully and will give those areas good recovery.
