Love this fabric, the print is lovely and clear and holds its colours after washing, used it to make a rather large cushion as a gift and it was very well received, very easy to sew with too, love that it’s so unique and vibrant, will definitely recommend and will be buying more from this seller. Very clear with no smudges and no blurring

I designed this product after downloading a pattern from Shutterstock. There was a similar pattern on Dazzle but i wanted to scale it up on a grand scale for some very large windows and needed a vectored pattern that i could also invert and play with the colour tone. It is perfect. Not only has the print quality kept the pattern really clear. The ability to gauge the impact on a large scale from the preview windows when designing was invaluable. Its so good that instead of the smaller window it was intended for, i will be purchasing about 4 times as much to scale up for a much larger space. The client is delighted! The print run was excellent. I chose the slightly more weighty fabric which will still require lining (these are to be curtains) but that is so with any fabric run. The colours are true to the on screen colours. I was worried i get something too "lime green" but it is as displayed which is a relief. I worked quite hard on ensuring the part of the pattern that i cropped was then carefully called to fit the width and height of the fabric particularly as i have been aiming for a large pattern with low number of repeats. It has worked perfectly and the auto-correct on the height aspect of the customise bar helped enormously.
