Product Information

Full details

The Meet MILK Ruby Tencel Lyocell Jacquard in Lapis is designed for sewing enthusiasts and fashion makers who prioritize sustainable, high-quality textiles with a sophisticated finish. This medium-weight fabric offers a unique woven geometric design that provides both depth and structure, making it ideal for garments like structured dresses, skirts, and lightweight jackets. While it offers a luxurious feel and excellent drape, users should note that as a 100% Tencel Lyocell material, it requires specific low-temperature washing to preserve its integrity and prevent shrinkage.

FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is manageable for beginners, but because it is slightly more fluid than quilting cotton, using plenty of pins or clips is recommended.

Does the fabric shrink?

Tencel can experience slight shrinkage. Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting your patterns.

Can I use this for a coat?

It is better suited for a light jacket or shirt-jacket rather than a heavy winter coat due to its 150gsm weight.

What is the best way to press this fabric?

Use a medium iron setting and a press cloth to ensure the jacquard pattern remains crisp and undamaged.

Will I receive the fabric in one piece?

Yes, all orders are cut as one continuous piece from the bolt.

Troubleshooting

Fabric edges fraying during handling

Apply a zigzag stitch or a serged edge to the cut pieces immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.

Stitches puckering on the fabric surface

Use a fresh, sharp microtex needle and adjust your tension settings; a slightly longer stitch length often works best for this medium-weight jacquard.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated jacquard texture adds professional depth to handmade garments
  • Sustainable and eco-friendly fiber production
  • Excellent drape combined with enough structure for tailoring
  • Soft and breathable against the skin
  • Certified safe materials via OEKO-TEX

Cons

  • Requires careful temperature-controlled laundering
  • Not suitable for high-heat tumble drying
  • Can be more slippery to sew than basic cotton poplin

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the fabric, always pre-wash at 30 degrees Celsius to account for the natural properties of Tencel fibers. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh bleaches to protect the vibrant Lapis color and the delicate jacquard weave. For the best sewing results, match the fabric with high-quality polyester or cotton thread. When ironing, use a medium heat setting and consider using a pressing cloth to avoid direct heat contact with the jacquard texture. Avoid tumble drying; hang the fabric to dry in a shaded area to maintain the structural integrity of the Lyocell fibers over time.
