Welcome to our Lamazi Makers Club Inspire Bag for August. This month we chose a stunning, sustainably manufactured lightweight fabric made from LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose fibres. This high quality viscose fabric features watercolour style painterly floral design of flower buds in the striking and beautiful shades of royal blue, purple, magenta and pink with some lighter blue and green accents. It is lightweight and soft to touch with beautiful drape.
We picked this fabric not only for its striking design and colours which can be paired with so many other fabrics to create cohesive outfits, but also for its Eco credentials. It is printed on ECOVERO™ Viscose which is made from a sustainably certified viscose fibres. It's made of wood pulp that is derived only from certified and controlled wood sources. The production of ECOVERO™ Viscose requires half the amount of water compared to regular viscose production, and the CO2 emissions is also halved, compared to conventional viscose production.
Painted Buds Magenta viscose is ideal for making swishy dresses, blouses and skirts and is the perfect fabric for the transition from Summer to Autumn. We hope that the inspiration we’ve put together for you will inspire you to create a stunning outfit that you will feel proud to wear.
Sewing Inspiration
Make an outfit…
Painted buds viscose pairs beautifully with royal blue, green, light blue and darker pink shades. We particularly like how it contrasts with the olive or grass green and lighter blue.

Elodie is a modern take on a classic wrap dress. Romantic and flowy, it will look sunning in Painted Buds and will pair well with trainers and a light cardigan for a casual day-to-day outfit, or with boots and a jacket for a more elevated evening look.

Sewing Tool
The tool we picked for August Inspire pairs perfectly with the fabric. It is a pack of Silk Pins by Clover, designed for use with lightweight and fine fabrics. They are sharp and fine perfect to avoid snags or pin marks on the fabric. The pin head is made from glass, so it will not melt with the heat of the iron.
Regardless of the project you will choose for this fabric, take a look at our library of sewing tutorials on our YouTube channel and Instagram, you will find something to assist you along with your sewing journey.
