<p>The present disclosure relates to a patterned nonwoven fabric (10), wherein the pattern comprises an arrangement of discrete regions (6) that project outwardly from a median plane (28) of the nonwoven fabric. The outwardly projecting pattern may be created on one or both sides of the fabric, although the pattern may project further on one side than the other. In one embodiment, the patterned nonwoven fabric further includes a second arrangement of discrete regions, these regions projecting inwardly toward the median plane (8) of the nonwoven fabric. Again, the pattern of inwardly and outwardly projecting regions may occur on one or both sides of the nonwoven fabric. The patterned nonwoven may be used in a variety of applications, such as drapery, upholstery, apparel, and office panels, for example.</p> |
