A playful silk twill with an unusual fashion print on a deep blue background. Small, richly detailed mice meet stylish accessories such as handbags, pumps, sandals, sunglasses, perfume bottles, wristwatches and small umbrellas – complemented by boats, bicycles and fine graphic lines. The motifs are in cream and white and stand out clearly from the dark blue, making the print look calm and elegant despite its many details. The supple feel typical of twill and the subtle silk sheen give the humorous design a high-quality, textile effect.

Usage suggestions

The 92 cm wide silk is particularly suitable for smaller and narrower pattern pieces as well as accessories:

• Silk scarves and neck scarves
• narrow neck scarves
• elegant blouses and tops
• decorative inserts on blouses or dresses
• bows and tie belts
• special accessories such as headbands or small bags

The design is particularly appealing for a silk scarf: depending on how it is folded, different mice and fashion accessories are revealed. The playful pattern can also be used as a deliberately placed eye-catcher on garments.

Sewing instructions & processing tips

• For the fine silk twill, we recommend a Microtex needle in size 60–70 and fine sewing thread.
• When cutting, the position of the individual motifs should be taken into account. On smaller pattern pieces, individual mice or accessories can be placed deliberately.
• For scarves and neck scarves, fine, narrow hems are suitable, for example a rolled hem.
• Lay the silk out as tension-free as possible before cutting and do not pull unnecessarily when sewing.
