Everything you need to know about Viscose

[@addlibrarian]

The city I live in had a viscose factory and I had no clue that it was a fabric. Thank you for your wonderful explanations of the various viscose fabrics!

[@susankidd9963]

I love these fabrics I haven’t sewn with many viscose materials but your explanation of the content of the fabric is very helpful.

[@tammymasson2343]

What a fabulous video! Thank you for explaining and describing the various terms and weaves! Super educational and helpful! You have a beautiful offering of fabrics as well!

[@lyndaseagrave417]

Thank you for such an informative video. I have learned a lot and this will be a huge help when buying fabrics online to help me make the right choice for my projects !

[@ynys_mon6928]

This is the most informative video about any type of fabric that I’ve come across. Thanks! I’ve subscribed and will look out for more!

[@SewMeSunshine]

Thank you so much!

[@JulesCraftRoom]

So informative and I love that you match the fabric to a pattern

[@Sheri...]

Very informative! I didn't know viscose was rayon. Thanks so much!

[@cassandrasingleton3267]

Thanks so much for this ! I have been a little scared of making garments with the lighter weight viscose fabrics, but feel that I can give it a go now! 🥰

[@SewMeSunshine]

Absolutely! We recommend using a microtex needle as well :) Harriet has written up a blog post in case you would like even more info on it. Jenny sewmesunshine.co.uk/blogs/sew-me-sunshine/what-is-viscose-dressmaking-fabric

[@annettecowburn1096]

Always so informative Harriet, thanks so much.

[@mornamurphy6962]

Loved the video Harriet . The coral viscose linen slub looked beautiful against you! X

[@SewMeSunshine]

Thank you!

[@belindal9181]

Hello, I’m not familiar with picking out fabrics. I will be starting to sew, so this was very helpful. Only thing is, I don’t know if they stretch, or how much a fabric stretches. Thank you for all the information!

[@SewMeSunshine]

Hi Belinda, if a fabric has any stretch it will be in the description along with the amount of stretch it has. If a fabric doesn't have any stretch it will not be listed in our description. How exciting you're starting your sewing journey! If you're not sure what a fabric is like, please feel free to order swatches. Jenny

[@onabrown2533]

Hi, do you know where I can purchase Modal and Viscose as a fabric or where I can look at samples of the fabric? I’m in London. Look forward to hearing from you.

[@sallydingle321]

Great informative video again Harriett 👌😁...got to love a viscose 💝. I love them all but partial to a viscose jersey to make short versions of the Closet Core Ebony.. I have a bit of an obsession I think 😉. Might have to browse your website again 😁😘

[@ArijanaLukic]

Best video I found about this! Thank you!

[@kckazcoll1]

thanks for clarifying that viscose and rayon are the same!

[@brendaeves3236]

Beautiful fabrics! So much learning, thank you.

[@janetgibson683]

Hello Could I ask how much extra fabric would you say one has to buy taking in mind you pre wash.before cutting. Thank you. Janet.

[@lizlisle7361]

I have a cute little RTW jacket that I'd like to have a go at copying. I have a pattern that recommends 'stable knits' among other fabric suggestions, mostly wovens. Would you say viscose ponte di roma is a stable knit?

[@SewMeSunshine]

Hi Liz, yes we would say viscose ponte di roma is a stable knit :)

[@astridikastdejgaard1716]

Can I use a machine fabric shaver on viscose if it has pilling?

[@christinecrabb1911]

Thank you, very informative, will definitely be trying these fabrics 🥰

[@geriattrique7141]

9 months later from post question, but what is the tropical looking mint fabric on the roll behind you in the beginning of the video? It has navy palm trees and fish? in primary colours and looks very 1940s. I checked your shop and instagram and google reverse image search to no avail. Was this deadstock?

[@SewMeSunshine]

Hi Geri, that was indeed an ex-designer deadstock fabric! 💛

[@geriattrique7141]

@@SewMeSunshine thanks so much for your reply! 💛 Darn it! I hope whomever was lucky enough to score some of this makes a killer vintage style frock!

[@antheahiams6396]

Extremely informative. Thank you 👍

[@mikam.7312]

What is VISCOSE POPLIN? does it have a good drape?

[@mardigra1916]

Materials are super 😊

[@hanlievanniekerk6950]

Where can i get crushed viscose

[@rosemarygilling404]

I learnt a lot. Thank you!

[@sunflowersammee1994]

Thanks for great information!

[@elainesnyder8210]

Love your fabrics do you ship to US.

[@SewMeSunshine]

yes we do :)

[@janebrettell1737]

Hi, Love love love your videos, learnt lots as I always do. I find it difficult to choose any one fabric, I like working with Ponte de Roma and loved the blue one you showed, also the mint colour way of the bamboo jersey was gorgeous. Bamboo jersey only came to my attention a few months ago, it’s beautiful fabric and really nice to work with. Thanks for brightening up a very rainy day here in Staffordshire. ☔️☔️🌂🥰

[@SewMeSunshine]

Thank you much Jane. Happy sewing!

[@cathytarapacz]

Pronunciation is "sha lee"

[@SewMeSunshine]

thank you for the feedback

[@SewMeSunshine]

we have just had a look into this and it is because challis is pronounced differently in the UK compared to the USA so that is probably why :)

[@kathygann7632]
