Dora Signature Panel

Dora Signature Panel

One purpose-designed printed fabric panel approximately 50 × 100 cm (19¾ × 39⅜”).

Within the panel you'll find:

• Four bias strips approximately 8 × 70 cm (3⅛ × 27¾”), laid out on the true bias

• Coordinating printed fabric for pocket linings, covered buttons, facings, Hong Kong finishes and other signature garment details

• Step-by-step video tutorials available for making the featured hem

• Printed cutting guides showing you exactly where to cut

• Overlocked outer edges, ready for pre-washing

Please calculate the total hem length for your project and allow an additional 10–15 cm (4–6”) for joining and finishing. When joined, the strips provide approximately 2.75 m (108”) of continuous usable bias binding

Pre-washing your fabric before cutting helps take care of any initial shrinkage, so your finished garment keeps its shape after future washes. Your panel arrives with the outer edges already finished to minimise fraying in the wash, so this preparation has been done for you — simply machine wash the whole panel at 30°C (86°F) with similar colours before cutting it apart. The finished outer edges also help reduce fraying while you handle and work with the panel, so it's best to leave them in place until you need to cut into that part of the panel.

For easier handling, I heartily recommend lightly starching the panel while it is still damp after washing, then allowing it to dry and giving it a quick press before cutting. This gives the fabric a little extra stability and makes the long bias strips and smaller pieces easier to cut and sew accurately.

You can use ordinary laundry spray starch, or a simple homemade cornflour-and-water starch. To make your own, mix 1 teaspoon of cornflour with 250 ml (1 cup) of cold water until smooth. Pour into a spray bottle, shake well and lightly mist the fabric. Make fresh as needed and discard any leftover mixture.

Allow the panel to dry, then give it a quick press on the reverse with low heat before cutting.

A note on pressing: The trim resists sharp creases, which helps it stay beautifully smooth in the finished garment. When pressing the fold, a light crease is all you need — use it as a guide, then pin securely to hold everything in place before stitching.

Smooth Crepe (100% Polyester)

A lightweight crepe with beautiful drape, perfect for garments requiring more movement and fluidity.

The panels are made to order in London, UK, using water-based inks and a low water digital printing process.

As with all digitally printed fabrics, slight shrinkage, colour variation and dimensional variation may occur.

We take great care to ensure our product photographs and colour representations are as accurate as possible.

Please note that colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen or device settings. Small variations between print batches and different fabric bases are also a normal part of the printing process.

These natural variations are not considered faults and do not affect the quality or usability of the fabric.
