Let yourself be charmed by viscose twill

Viscose twill (or twill viscose) is a fabric with endless possibilities! It’s both comfortable and perfect for those who want to add an extra touch of elegance to their homemade wardrobe.

Why choose viscose twill?

Viscose twill is known for its drape and softness, making it an ideal choice for a wide variety of sewing projects. In fact, it works with just about anything!

In terms of texture, the twill weave creates very fine diagonal stripes on the fabric. This not only makes it more durable but also gives it a beautiful drape. The fabric flows around your body, making your silhouette look even more flattering. Every garment you create with this fabric seems to dance with your movements!

The versatility of viscose twill is also one of its greatest strengths. It works just as well for casual wear—such as printed summer pants for a day out—as it does for more sophisticated pieces, like a beautiful evening gown made of black viscose twill and lace. And whether you opt for neutral tones or bold colors, your fabric will shine in any light. Finally, as a natural fabric, viscose twill is an excellent choice for all seasons—keeping you cool in the summer while being thick enough to wear during the colder months.

How do you sew with viscose twill?

Sewing viscose twill may seem intimidating at first, but with our tips and kits, you'll master this fabric in no time.

At Majam, we'll give you all the advice you need to turn this beautiful fabric into pieces you'll be proud of.

First, it’s important to prepare the viscose twill properly before cutting. As with any fabric, an initial wash is essential to prevent shrinkage after you’ve sewn your garment. Afterward, follow the care instructions provided to ensure the longevity of your creations.

When cutting, use sharp scissors. Viscose twill can be a little slippery, so secure it firmly with pins. Patience is key here; take your time to measure and cut accurately. This will give you flawless results.

Finally, when sewing, choose fine needles to avoid damaging or pulling the fabric’s threads. For this, size 70 Microtex needles are ideal. Set your sewing machine to a medium stitch length and test it on fabric scraps to get used to the feel and behavior of viscose twill. Once you feel comfortable, dive into your sewing project!
