Viscose Crepe Fabric – Norine Print Limited Edition | Atelier 27

Designed by independent studio Atelier 27, this Moroccan viscose crepe fabric features the Norine print in a blue and ivory palette. The crepe weave creates a softly textured surface with fluid drape, making it well suited for garment sewing that moves with the body.

Carefully produced with attention to fiber and finish, this lightweight viscose crepe offers breathable comfort and gentle movement. Its fluid behavior and subtle texture make it comfortable to sew and easy to wear across a wide range of garments.

This is a Limited Edition design — produced in a single small run in France and never reprinted once sold out. When this bolt is gone, it is gone for good.

Composition: 100% viscose. Certification: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.

Best uses: Blouses, shirts, summer dresses, skirts, flowing trousers, and scarves. The fluid drape suits gathered and bias-cut styles especially well.

Care: Machine wash cold, do not tumble dry, iron at low temperature as needed.

Sold by the half yard.

🪡 Sewing Tips

Prewash before sewing, as viscose may shrink by approximately 5% during the first wash. Use a fine needle and handle gently while cutting to minimize shifting.

🧺 Care Instructions

Machine wash cold. Turn finished garments inside out before washing to help protect the fabric and extend garment life. Do not tumble dry. Iron at a low temperature as needed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What can I sew with this fabric?

Blouses, shirts, summer dresses, skirts, flowing trousers, and scarves. The fluid drape suits gathered and bias-cut styles especially well.

How much fabric do I need for a dress or blouse?

Fabric is sold by the half yard, cut in one continuous piece. A fitted top typically takes 2–3 half-yard units, a blouse or shirt 3–4, and a midi dress 5–6 — order 4 units for 2 continuous yards. This fabric is 130 cm (51") wide, so allow an extra unit if your pattern assumes a wider fabric.

Will it shrink?

Yes — viscose shrinks by roughly 5% on the first wash. Always pre-wash before cutting (machine wash cold, gentle cycle) so your finished garment keeps its fit.

Is it see-through?

No — at 120 g/m² it is opaque; unlined garments are fine.

What needle and thread should I use?

A fine universal or microtex needle (70/10) with all-purpose polyester thread; handle gently when cutting to prevent shifting.

Is it really limited edition?

Yes — Atelier 27 prints each design in a single small run in France and never reprints it. When our bolt sells out, this print is gone for good. We stock it here in the US, so there are no import shipping, tariff, or customs processing fees.
