TROPICAL PALETTE – LITTLE JOHNNY DOUBLE GAUZE – 100% COTTON FABRIC – 130cm WIDE

A beautifully soft 100% cotton double gauze from the Little Johnny range, featuring a bold abstract print packed with tropical colour.

Tropical Palette combines loose, painterly shapes and sweeping brushstroke-style forms in a striking mix of peach, orange, yellow, magenta, purple, fresh green, olive and black, with flashes of the pale background showing through between the colours.

The overlapping shapes give the design a wonderfully artistic, almost hand-painted feel, while the tropical colour palette makes it bright and distinctive without relying on a traditional floral print.

Combined with the naturally soft, lightly crinkled texture of double gauze, this is a fabulous choice for relaxed statement clothing, summer dressmaking, children's wear and colourful lightweight projects.

New To Double Gauze?

Double gauze is made from two very fine layers of gauze fabric that are joined together at tiny points throughout the cloth.

This clever construction creates a fabric that feels wonderfully soft and airy while giving it more substance than a single layer of gauze.

It's breathable, comfortable and naturally has a relaxed, lightly crinkled appearance, making it particularly popular for summer clothing, children's and baby wear, dresses, tops, scarves and lightweight blankets.

Double gauze doesn't need to look perfectly pressed – its soft texture is part of its charm.
