Description

Bursting with colour and intricate detail, this fabulous cotton poplin takes inspiration from traditional Japanese wave patterns, with overlapping scalloped shapes reminiscent of ocean waves and decorative fans. Vibrant turquoise, rich teal, fiery orange, coral and deep navy come together with touches of ivory, creating a wonderfully striking design. Look a little closer and you'll discover each section has its own miniature pattern, from delicate florals and geometric shapes to swirling lines and decorative motifs. Made from 100% cotton, the cloth has the smooth, crisp handle you would expect from a good poplin, making it comfortable to wear and lovely to sew.

There's so much going on in this print, yet the repeating scalloped design brings everything together beautifully. Perfect for summer shirts, shirt dresses, blouses, gathered skirts and colourful co-ords, it would also make fabulous quilting projects, bags and accessories. Choose a simple pattern and let those wonderful colours do the work. Definitely one for anyone who likes their sewing with a little personality!

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.
