Rolling hills are depicted with sketch-like lines by designer Aino-Maija Metsola on the Kokadera pattern, inspired by Kyoto’s famous moss garden. In shades of brown with orange undertones, mossy green, and black, the earthy print has a palette to match. It has been printed on 100% cotton in Finland for a heavyweight fabric perfect for plenty of projects. Frame a window with curtains or add art to a wall with a fabric hanging - the possibilities are as seemingly endless as this artistic landscape.

I thought this would be great for a dress, which is what I got to use it for, because of the scale of the pattern and handrawn sketchy nature.
Because it's two colors down the middle, I will switch one side to be one color and the other side to be another color, and reverse the sleeves for fun.
A project that has come out of the lockdown :).
Giving it four out of five stars because it has more white than this photo shows. Maybe because of the scale, in person, you see more white between the brown and black threads.
Pros
Handrawn/sketchy nature of pattern - won't see spots, in my case, making a dress out of it, pattern alignment not as big an issue.
