- We've just sewn up some new makes in Lisa's newest fabric collection Viscose - Sprinkles. Whilst we were making them we thought of some top tips to share with you!

Lovely garments! I love the patterns and the clothing.
Fun to see what you’ve made with the Sprinkles Fabric! Love the jumpsuits especially. Love rayon/viscose fabrics. Sew on ladies - SEW ON!
Thanks so much for the encouragement Loriann! We love our makes and we really love Sprinkles. It's such a deliciously soft viscose :)
Great tips... I'm new to garment sewing and need all the help I can get!!! Thank you 🐨🇦🇺
Great tips. I purchased the tan-colored Viscose Sprinkles fabric and I'm looking forward to working with it now that I see how great it looks (and hangs) on an actual person.
Thanks for the ideas, I’m sure I’ll refer to this when I begin sewing my viscose material, hopefully soon.
Brilliant! I really hope it helps!
Thank you for all of these tips . I tend to buy a lot of Viscose so this video is very informative for me .
So pleased it's helpful Louise! Happy viscose sewing! :)
Thanks for sharing ladies😻
Thank you so much! I have a few new fabric that I am a little afraid of cutting in to. Love all three outfits
Aw thank you Amalia! We're really pleased with our Sprinkles makes. I hope our tips help with your viscose sewing projects! It's such a great fabric to sew with once you get going :)
Hi ladies thank you some great tips there 👍🏻❤️
Thank you Jane!
Yikes I was just about to shorten a viscose dress without washing it first! Thanks for mentioning that!
What would be the best way to stabilize and add a bit of structure to viscose fabric without losing its lovely drape too much?
Thank you :)
Thanks for the video, really helpful 👍I had a viscose dressmaking disaster (ended up massively too big for me) & never tried again.
I'm sure I watched another video recommending pinning a thin layer of tissue paper to viscose fabric, underneath, keeps it stable.. I'm going to try this too!
As in, pin to tissue paper & cut out the pattern pieces with tissue attached... maybe even sew through the tissue too & remove after. It might have been 'Professor Pincushion', I'll try & find it.
@@sewknitrepeat6377 Yes I've heard that you can do that too. I've not tried it but I know a lot of people swear by it!
I have a pattern that calls for fabrics like rayon/viscose, but doesn’t state that stay-stitching is necessary. Omg, ALWAYS stay-stitch in curvy areas when using viscose, especially if the fabric is cut on the bias. Maybe the pattern maker (one of the “big 4”) thinks that we already know this, but as the pattern is supposed to be *easy*, it might behoove a newbie to be taught this step.
Do you have tips for finding the grainline? Should I trust the selvedge edge edge as my guide?
Nice fabrics, they all look great when sewn into your garments. What brand is the fusible tape with the chain stitch on it? Thanks for sharing. Val🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️
It's by Vilene. We usually stock it but we've just run out. We've reordered though so it'll be back in stock soon!
I would rather see it on the fabric rather than listen to talking for 5 mins
Interesting to view- I have some rather lovely viscose and this will help ensure it sews up well. What is the iron on tape with a chain stitch in it? Is it bought or made?
It's made by Vilene. We usually have it in stock but we've run out. It'll be back in stock this week though!
I love wearing viscose but hate how it stretches out when I’m sewing it so will be trying your tips. Love the middle jumpsuit!
Thank you!! I hope our tips help :)
Great tips! Could you tell me which pattern it is for the sleeveless top? Thank you :)
It's the Hadley Top from Grainline Studio :)
Thanks for the tips! As far as I was aware, viscose is a man-made fabric. It's made of cellulose (from trees) which is treated with chemicals to make it into fabric but it's not natural like cotton or linen. So technically from a natural source but I wouldn't call it natural...
Do you tumble the fabric after washing?
Is viscose a fabric that is hard to sew, of is just as easy as cotton? Can a beginner sew viscose?
I put a straight stitch plate on my sewing machine and the viscose is sewing beautifully
Do you ever use starch on your viscose before sewing?
We haven't tried it for viscose but Nicole uses it sometimes for chiffon and georgette and it works a treat!
😃
Great to see more vlogs without Lisa.
I think you'll find viscose is not a natural fibre.
Horrible audio
Sorry it was a bit echoey Brenda!
Great video ladies. What is the name of the pattern for the jump suit? I have to make a jumpsuit for my daughter in Viscose and Im brand new to sewing. I. Scared stiff of mucking it up.
