A Minerva exclusive, this gorgeous Tiger Reef design is printed onto a wonderful quality viscose challis base cloth. Viscose is a natural, breathable fibre derived from wood pulp. This viscose challis is a super soft, 100% viscose woven fabric with a plain weave and no stretch. It is soft, silky, and has plenty of drape, making it perfect for sewing tops, blouses, skirts, dresses, jumpsuits, robes, summer trousers, and shorts. At 120 grams per square metre, this fabric is classed as a light to medium weight. The fabric in most colourways is opaque and should not require lining, though lighter coloured prints may benefit from lining or a slip depending on the garment style and personal preference. We recommend using a new fine sharps needle for best results. This fabric is POD (Printed On Demand), meaning extra time is needed for delivery. Upon ordering, your chosen design will be carefully printed on your selected base cloth and size. We pride ourselves on quality materials, printing, and fast turnaround. Please allow approximately 2 weeks for despatch of POD fabric orders, although turnaround is often quicker. This is an estimate and extra time may be needed during peak periods. If you need other items urgently, please place a separate order. With print-on-demand fabrics, each order is its own print lot, similar to dye lots. It is advisable to order enough fabric for your project at once to ensure consistency, as separate orders may have variations. Print on Demand (POD) fabric offers a more sustainable and conscientious approach by printing to order, reducing waste, saving energy, and adhering to ethical production practices. Digital printing technology minimizes chemical and dye use compared to traditional screen printing, leading to cleaner production. The scalability of POD supports small-scale, local production, boosting local economies and reducing shipping and storage needs. Investing in POD contributes to a more responsible, environmentally conscious fabric industry.
