Description
Straight from the tropics, this fabulous 100% cotton shirting brings a splash of sunshine to your sewing without going completely overboard. Large, abstract tropical leaves sweep across a rich cornflower blue background, combining deep navy, leafy olive green and flashes of golden yellow. The oversized botanical design has a lovely artistic quality, bold enough to make an impression but with a surprisingly wearable colour palette.
Perfect for relaxed shirts, camp-collar shirts, shirt dresses, loose-fitting blouses and holiday co-ords, this is the sort of print that does all the talking, so you can keep the sewing nice and simple. The generous 154cm width gives you plenty of room to work with those wonderful oversized leaves. Tropical, colourful and full of personality, but thankfully no passport required.

Care & washing
Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.
Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
