The word grunge may make you think of faded prints, torn jeans, and frayed cuffs–the kinds of clothes you wish your kid didn’t wear and you wouldn’t even consider for yourself. But, if that’s what you think, you need to take a look at Moda Grunge Fabric.
Of course, you are wondering, What is grunge fabric? Moda Grunge Basics fabric is unique because the fabric is dyed first, then it is printed on one side. The result is fabric that is deeply saturated with colors. Depending on how many colors are applied and the subtlety or contrast of those additional colors, the final result can vary widely. Moda Grunge Basics yardage cut into smaller squares yields pieces that look quite a lot different from each other. Additionally, the squares can be flipped to the reverse, unprinted side and used as a solid. The variations of color in Moda Grunge Basics fabric give the visual illusions of texture and depth that other fabrics can’t achieve.
Missouri Star offers Moda Grunge Basics in a wide variety of colors. Eggplant is a deep purple with hints of blueberry. Cherry is a bright red with undertones of tan and gray. Storm is a deep blue, light blue, and gray. Curry is an orangey golden yellow. Bachelor is a deep teal with hints of aqua, royal blue, and lime. Printing layers of color over each other creates a peek-through effect. Often the fabric looks scuffed–like it has had a bit of the top color sandpapered off. Grunge fabric is interesting; it moves. You see different colors in one piece of fabric.
