Lightning fast one moment then moon-still the next, the powerful presence of the jungle surveyor is felt throughout our Mood Exclusive Poised to Pounce Metallic Dotted Crinkled Viscose Crepe. She exists among the leaves and stars, patiently observing her midnight kingdom. The crinkled face, decorated with rows of metallic gold dots, displays the most distinguishable characteristics of a crepe: a grainy and crisp hand. A rippling drape compliments semi-casual silhouettes as its cool, medium-weight feel is perfect for all climates; create airy skirts, a-line sundresses, workday blouses, and more! Slightly transparent—a lining may be desired.

Here are a few tips from our sewists to master crepe’s unique texture:

1. Lower the thread tension on your sewing machine to prevent puckering
2. Use a new, fine point needle
3. To prevent slipping during cutting, line up your pieces with the pattern pieces, cut in single layers, and use a rotary cutter or tabletop scissors
4. Be patient and have fun!
