Animal Print Fabric

Our animal print collection features two main styles to suit a wide range of sewing projects. We stock classic predatory prints like leopard skin, cheetah spots, zebra stripes, and tiger tracks, which are popular for statement fashion pieces, evening garments, and theater costumes. We also offer a delightful selection of illustrated animal motifs including cartoon dinosaurs, woodland foxes, birds, safari animals, and colorful butterflies, which are perfect for making baby clothes, nursery decorations, and children’s crafts.

The best fabric depends on how structured or fluid you want your garment to be. For a tight, body-contouring outfit or a striking jacket with excellent structure, choose a dense scuba jersey or a plush printed velour. If your sewing pattern requires a lightweight, flowing, and romantic drape that skims the body without clinging, look toward our printed crepe de chines, silky viscoses, or fine cotton lawns, which offer beautiful movement for summer wear.

Yes, absolutely. The illustrated animal collections visible in our store are predominantly printed onto high-quality 100% pure craft cottons, lightweight lawns, and durable polycottons. These lightweight, woven fabrics are completely breathable, highly durable, and soft against sensitive skin. This makes them exceptional choices for sewing handmade baby garments, customized crib sheets, nursery curtains, quilted play mats, and plush toy linings.

Yes, animal prints are almost always directional prints, meaning the pattern has a specific “top” and “bottom.” This is particularly true for illustrated animal characters (like foxes or dinosaurs) that must stand upright, as well as distinct zebra or tiger stripes. When laying out your pattern pieces on the fabric roll, ensure that every piece faces the same direction so you don’t accidentally sew a panel upside down. We always recommend purchasing a small amount of extra fabric length to accommodate this matching process cleanly.
