Frequently Asked Questions
What can I sew with the Mowgli viscose?
Dresses, blouses, skirts, shirts, tops, and lightweight trousers — a rich transitional-season print.
How much fabric do I need?
Most blouses take 1.5–2 yards (3–4 half-yard units) and most dresses 2.5–3.5 yards (5–7 units). At 53" wide, this fabric is wider than many quilting cottons, so you may need less than your pattern envelope suggests.
Will it shrink?
Viscose can shrink up to about 5% on the first wash. Prewash before cutting.
Is it see-through?
No — it is opaque in normal wear, so no lining is needed.
What needle and thread should I use?
A size 60 Microtex needle, changed regularly to prevent snags in the fluid viscose.
Is it really limited edition?
Yes — this is a small-batch limited run and will not be reprinted once sold out. We stock it here in the US, so there is no import shipping or customs from France.
