We’ve been really committed of late to sourcing gorgeous new fabrics to offer all of our customers, and are very pleased to introduce the second NEW addition to Digital Fabric’s polyester range – the Whisper. If you’ve been dreaming of a fantastic alternative to silk, with a hint of stretch and zero sheen, then this dreamy fabric’s for you!
Whisper is a light-weight fabric with a matte finish and a bright white base, which provides excellent colour reproduction when printed. The fabric’s smooth textured surface makes visible the fine details of designs making it perfect for prints with lots of elements and / or texture.
The fabric is a polyester / spandex blend with a good amount of stretch, and has an ultra-fine surface. Whisper’s feel and flexibility makes it a perfect choice for fashion garments and accessories as it is really comfortable to wear, and soft to touch. Whisper’s slinky, liquid-like drape makes it a great matte substitute for silk, and is most similar to our Dilly fabric. We think this fabric will be just perfect for scarves, skirts, dresses, blouses, lounge-wear, undergarments and soft accessories.
Sample swatches of Whisper are available now through our Sample Pack Order Form. Get in touch with any projects you feel the Whisper would be fabulous for!
Lately we’ve been committed to finding gorgeous new fabrics that we can offer to all of our customers! After plenty of research, sourcing and testing we are very excited to announce that we have a NEW fabric! Introducing Digital Fabrics’ newest polyester fabric – the Oliver. For those looking for a new fashion fabric the Oliver is definitely something you’ll be interested in.
The Oliver is a lightweight, 127 GSM Polyester Spandex blend (95% Polyester / 5% Spandex), which provides the fabric with a little stretch, making it a really comfortable option for fashion garments. Oliver has a bright white base with a matte surface, which results in strong colour reproduction when printing! The fabric is breathable, super-soft to touch and has an excellent drape.
This fabric is ideal for fashion applications, especially for those designing easy to wear, relaxed garments. Oliver is perfect for dresses, skirts, tops, soft accessories and loose-fitting Activewear.
Sample swatches of the Oliver are available now through our Sample Pack Order Form. If you’ve got an idea you think the Oliver might be perfect for, we’d love to hear from you!
Have you been dreaming up projects or designs that would be just perfect for a super soft linen? Now you can bring those ideas to life as we have a very exciting new fabric to introduce to our Natural Fabrics selection – the new Linen Deluxe!
Not to be confused with our very popular Cotton Linen fabric, the Linen Deluxe is a mid-weight 220GSM fabric that is 100% linen. It has a bright white base making it perfect for optimum colour reproduction when printing. We just can’t get enough of how our test print designs look on the fabric’s surface.
The texture and drape of the Linen Deluxe perfectly embodies simplicity and elegance, whilst its softness makes it ideal for both furnishings and apparel. We think it would be ideal for shirts, blouses, pants, cushion covers, curtains, tablecloths and napkins.
Sample swatches of the Linen Deluxe are available now using our Sample Pack Order Form. We can’t wait to see what you print on this gorgeous addition to the Digital Fabrics family.
We have a New Jersey fabric in stock replacing the old base. This is an exciting opportunity for those textile and fashion designers who are looking for a t-shirt like fabric to construct a garment, this fabric is suitable for women’s, mens and kids wear.
Jersey is a mid-weight 200 gsm fabric, not too heavy or light, with two way stretch jersey knit. It has nice drape, soft with a nice cotton-like hand.
The Fabric prints beautifully, with great colour representation and superb colour fastness.
Our fabulous New Jersey fabric is perfect for any t-shirt type’s garments and casual wear such as t-shirts, dresses, loose fit tops, singlets, cool weather scarves and baby clothes. This fabric also very well suited for home textiles: blankets, pillow cases or throw cushions.
NOTE: this fabric doesn’t have spandex and has only limited stretch capacity, this fabric will not be suitable for very tight garments such as leggings.

Last month we held a very successful class for those keen to learn the Photoshop basics to get their designs on fabric. It was a full class and a big day of discovering the program, having a play and opening up the world of digital fabric printing possibilities to some eager creatives. We all had fun even if there was a lot of material to cover and get a handle on, we can’t wait to see what the students come up with and print in the future!
Coming up on December 3 we have another exciting class to get the creative juices flowing and it couldn’t come at a more perfect time of the year. Our Design Your Own Product Workshop gives you a chance to have a play in Photoshop with some of the MANY manipulation options, and turn your photographs or artwork into a product ready for printing and gifting over the festive season. Two gifts in one really, you get the chance to discover the possibilities in Photoshop and learn about digital fabric printing, AND you have the option to have your creation printed at the end. Bonus!
If you’ve been dreaming of our own cushion prints or yoga leggings or even a statement scarf, Design Your Own Product is the workshop for you. This is a one day class focusing on the manipulation options in Photoshop and using these to develop a placement print ready for printing.
There’s no time like the present to design your own unique present! Book online today before the class fills up!
