Atelier Brunette Java Viscose Crepe Fabric - Rust

EcoVero Viscose is a sustainable type of viscose rayon derived from certified renewable wood sources using an eco-conscious production process. It has a significantly lower environmental impact compared to conventional viscose.

Yes, while viscose requires careful handling, its good drape and manageable weight make it suitable for beginners, especially for simpler garment designs like straight skirts or basic blouses. Using a walking foot on your sewing machine can help with even feeding.

While primarily designed for dressmaking, its drape could be suitable for light curtains or decorative items. However, its light weight might necessitate a lining for privacy or light-blocking purposes.

The amount needed varies greatly depending on the pattern size and style. It's best to consult your specific sewing pattern's fabric requirement chart. Generally, for a simple blouse, you might need between 1.5 to 2.5 meters.

The fraying tendency depends more on the weave of the fabric itself than the print. Viscose crepe typically has a stable weave. Finishing your seams with a serger, French seams, or pinking shears is recommended to prevent fraying.

Atelier Brunette often releases fabrics in various colorways. The 'Java' line, for example, is also available in an 'Ivy Green' colorway.

This can sometimes occur with viscose. Try ironing the fabric on a low setting while slightly damp to restore its softness. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water for hand washing.

Always test a small swatch of the fabric in cold water before washing the entire piece. If color bleeding occurs, use even colder water and a detergent specifically designed for delicates or dark colors.

Handle the fabric gently during washing and drying. Avoid wringing or machine washing. Lay flat to dry instead of hanging to prevent stretching under its own weight.
