Fret & Lattice Patterned Fabrics

These medium or heavy weight fabrics are perfect for soft furnishing and upholstery projects. If you choose neutral backgrounds the raised fret or lattice pattern will show more effectively as well as giving the fabric body and substance.



When using this style of fabric allow for sufficient fabric so that you can match the pattern for a professional end result. Mismatched patterns don't look very good, so it's also worth taking a note of how large the repeat pattern is when buying your fabric – it's a bit like wallpaper the larger the repeat the more fabric you'll need. The remnants can also be used to make other accessories such as tie-backs for curtains.
