More About This Fabric

Persian Garden – Rust by Kaffe Fassett is a beautifully detailed cotton lawn bursting with colour and pattern.

The design has an almost patchwork-like appearance, combining bands and sections of tiny florals, stylised leaves, daisies and geometric motifs. A warm rust-orange base runs throughout the print, brought to life with vivid shades of pink, raspberry, red, lilac, turquoise blue, soft blue, white and fresh green.

The scale of the motifs varies across the fabric, giving the design wonderful depth and movement without one single element dominating. It has all the colour and exuberance associated with Kaffe Fassett designs while still feeling harmonious and wearable.

Printed on a lightweight cotton lawn, the fabric has a smooth, soft handle and a gentle fluidity while retaining the crispness and stability of cotton. It is comfortable to wear, easy to sew and ideal for garments where you want colour and impact without a heavy fabric.

Care Instructions

Machine wash at 30°C
Do not bleach
Do not tumble dry
Iron on a medium heat
Wash similar colours together
We recommend pre-washing before cutting and sewing, as natural cotton fabrics may shrink slightly on the first wash.

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

Cotton lawn is a lovely fabric to sew and is suitable for confident beginners as well as experienced dressmakers.

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.
