Viscose Dessin Fabrics TST

Viscose print fabrics from the TST collection

The viscose print fabrics from the TST collection are perfect if you are looking for special prints in a high-quality, fluid fabric. In this category you will find viscose stretch, viscose satin, linen-look viscose and viscose muslin with unique designs you won’t come across on every high street. They are ideal for sewing garments that stand out in terms of colour, print and wearing comfort.

Where a plain viscose fabric mainly provides the base, these TST viscose prints offer you that little bit extra: a carefully developed design, a refined colour palette and a quality that drapes beautifully around the body.

Uses for TST viscose prints

With TST viscose print fabrics you can create a wide variety of garments. For example, they are ideal for:

• flowing dresses and summer dresses

• elegant blouses and tops

• soft, drapey skirts and maxi skirts

• tunics and kaftans

• wide-leg trousers or culottes with a statement print

Thanks to the fluid drape of viscose, the fabric falls beautifully around the body without looking tight or stiff. The prints turn every garment into a true eye-catcher. Even a simple pattern comes to life with a bold TST print, meaning you often need very few extra details to achieve a striking result.

Different qualities within the TST viscose range

Within this category you will find several qualities of viscose print fabrics. There are viscose satin stretch qualities with a subtle sheen, viscose stretch inkjet with razor-sharp digital prints, and lighter options such as viscose muslin or linen-look viscose.

Each quality has its own look and feel:

• viscose stretch – pleasantly stretchy, ideal for comfortable dresses and tops

• viscose satin – slightly shinier and more dressy, perfect for blouses and occasion dresses

• linen-look viscose – a more natural, matte appearance with the softness and drape of viscose

• viscose muslin – light and delicate, perfect for airy, layered summer designs

In the product descriptions you can read exactly what each fabric is best suited for. This makes it easy to choose the right quality for your sewing pattern.

Combining and styling TST viscose prints

Because TST prints are often rich in colour and detail, they combine beautifully with plain fabrics. For example, you can:

• use a TST viscose print for a blouse and pair it with plain linen or plain cotton for the skirt or trousers

• make a dress in a bold print and style it with a solid-coloured cardigan or jacket

• use leftover pieces for accessories such as a scarf, belt or lined bag

In our shop you will also find coordinating basics such as plain viscose, plain linen and plain jersey, which are perfect for combining with TST viscose prints.

Sewing with viscose print fabrics

The same basic tips apply to TST viscose prints as to other viscose fabrics. It is best to pre-wash the fabric, as viscose can shrink slightly. After washing, press the fabric smooth before cutting out your pattern pieces.

Use a fine needle (for example size 70 or 80) and a straight stitch or narrow zigzag stitch. Because viscose drapes softly and can be a little slippery, it helps to guide the fabric gently while sewing and avoid pulling on it. This keeps seams and hems nice and neat and allows the TST prints to shine.
