Rayon Fabric

Rayon Fabric for Garments, Bags & Sewing Projects

Rayon fabric is beloved by sewists for its silky drape, breathability, and beautiful print clarity. Lightweight and fluid, rayon is the go-to choice for flowy garments, blouses, dresses, skirts, and bag linings that need a soft, luxurious feel.

Why Sew with Rayon?

  • Silky Drape — Falls beautifully for flowy, feminine garments and linings
  • Breathable — Lightweight and comfortable in warm weather
  • Vibrant Prints — Colors and patterns appear rich and saturated on rayon
  • Versatile — Works for garments, bag linings, scarves, and home accents

Rayon Fabric Project Ideas

My go-to easy sews with rayon are the Ethel Pants, Named Culottes, and the Ogden Cami.

Use rayon for blouses, wrap dresses, skirts, and flowy pants. It also makes a gorgeous bag lining for structured totes and purses. Pair with our bag lining materials or browse our garment patterns for rayon to get started.

Sew Hungry Hippie's Rayon Fabric collection features silky, breathable rayon by the yard from Art Gallery Fabrics and Ruby Star Society, with prints like Tropicalia, La Floraison, and Poolside Too. Rayon's drape suits blouses, dresses, skirts, and soft bag linings.
