You love the Fabric Godmother animal prints that have been in stock, but I wanted something a bit lighter and with a point of difference.  This is it! :-)  It is gorgeous floppy linen viscose blend, with a lovely soft and subtle crepe texture.  The light beige background is perfect for the dappling of dark chocolate, taupe and mottled amber splotches. If you look closely, you will also spy moments of diluted plum. This will look fantastic with white, sand, tan (with orange undertone), copper, chocolate and black (and maybe even a dark plum).  A gorgeous co-ord or dress would be spectacular too. 

This fabric is cool to touch, and falls in soft folds close to the body.  It has the qualities of a substantial viscose, but it looks like it has more linen in it that 20%.  It looks great with the new Abalone shell buttons.

It's perfect for tops|blouses|shirts, dresses, loose pants, robes etc.

Cloth Care:

While cotton can generally be machine washed and tumble dried without any problem, this is a lightweight and delicate fabric, so take more care of the cloth/garment, so hand wash or and use a short / delicate cycle. Wash colours separately. The finished garment will last longer and look better if it is shaken out when wet and placed on a hanger to dry. Tumble drying will shorten the life of the garment, and potentially damage the double gauze Do Not Tumble Dry. To prevent fading, wash inside out and dry in the shade. Cotton needs a warm to hot iron. Conduct a spot test. Cotton is dry cleanable.
