Prepare To Be Amazed!
We are absolutely delighted to introduce this brand new range of Light Reactive Fabrics.
Displaying a design when in standard indoor light the pattern transforms literally before your eyes as the fabric is exposed to the uv rays in sunlight and a multitude of colours appear.
Light Reactive Designs
A variety of designs are available all featuring the Light Reactive Element.
The fabrics include a Jungle, Multi Coloured Camo and Floral print through to a Rabbit & Top Hat design, Balloons and more. View The Full Design Range.
The Base fabric
The light sensitive design is printed on to a lovely quality cotton rich jersey fabric. The composition is a classic 95% Cotton with 5% Elastane.
The 5% elastane means that although the fabric does have stretch and will provided a fitted finish it is not overly stretchy and is a little easier to handle than ultra stretch options.
We describe this as a: Mid Weight Jersey (200gsm).
As a rough guide lightweight options come in at 100 – 140gsm mark. At the 200gsm weight the fabric is ideal for dressmaking through to tops and t-shirts.
It is washable too! Don’t worry the fabrics can be washed and the light reactive effect is not diminished.
This is a great quality fabric. Easy to cut, sew, press and make up. I used both my overlocker and my ordinary machine on a stretch stitch and both sewed perfectly.
I have just made my 12yr old granddaughter a cropped T shirt with the balloons design and she absolutely loves it. Apparently she worn it the whole weekend away camping! Guess what, I am now on the second one – this time using the rabbits design
