Spring Prints Prints Prints

When our new print fabrics came my way I could hardly believe my eyes! Not only are they exceptional quality fabrics, the prints are to die for. Each one is the best it can be. The colors and designs are modern, bold and chic.

Also in this fabric collection you will find solid black and white stretch crepe knit that is amazing. Really amazing! Excellent hand, drape, and opacity. It does not wrinkle or cling, perfect for a travel wardrobe.

The drape of the fabric is unbelievable. Check out the bolts of fabric on our mannequin, Isabelle; she is draped in yardage of the entire print design.

Some of these prints have a silky feel and some have a crepe texture. Refer to the specific, printable information about each fabric: In-Studio-Fabrics-1to4.pdf [80Kb]

These 58"–60" wide fabrics will be perfect for this season’s tops, skirts and dresses. View sample garments in our photo gallery at www.cjpatterns.com. Find these fabrics posted with the In Studio Fabrics Pack Four.
