A Minerva exclusive, this gorgeous Painted Bouquet design is printed onto the most wonderful quality viscose challis base cloth. Viscose is a fibre that is derived from wood pulp, making it a natural fabric that is more breathable than cotton. Our viscose challis is a super soft 100% viscose woven fabric with a plain weave and no stretch. It is soft, silky and has plenty of drape, making this fabric the perfect choice for sewing tops, blouses, skirts, dresses, jumpsuits, summer trousers, shorts and more. At 120 grams per square metre, this fabric is classed as a light to medium weight. The fabric in most colourways is opaque and should not require lining, on lighter colour prints you may wish to line your garment or wear a slip for more fitted styles. We recommend sewing this fabric with a new fine sharps needle for best results.
