Blythe Italian Viscose combines a quiet, subtle warm toned painterly palette with a strong geometric design. Part grid, with elements of a plaid, this graphic print pairs well with Katherine’s shirt, B6995, which has strong graphic lines. Katherine is a master at cutting so the motifs line up and relate to each other. She cut each piece single thickness starting with the front, then the side backs so those horizontals line up, and the back so the motif is placed randomly.

This is a drapey viscose with a soft liquid drape. To stabilize it when cutting, try this tip:
Cut slippery, soft, or wobbly fabrics using paper. Lay down a layer of paper on the cutting table, and trim, (tear, pull threads), on the fabric ends so they are straight, at right angles to the other edge. This assures that you can line up the grain of the fabric with the edges of the paper. Place the fabric on top, smoothing so the grain is straight...this is key! Then pin the pattern through all layers and cut through all layers. The bottom paper layer keeps the soft fabric from shifting as you cut and allows you to move and mark the pieces without distorting the fabric.
