It's no secret we love a bold print here at MaaiDesign, and we are forever on the search for elegant, yet interesting prints that our sewing community will love.
Because of this, we were drawn to the designs of Johanna Ralph and loved the fact that we could experiment with colour and scale to help specialise these fabrics for sewing garments.
To celebrate the launch, we invited some talented members of our sewing community to play with the new designs. Each person was given 3 metres to play with.
So grab a cuppa and enjoy these inspiring makes! For each creation, we've listed the fabric and sewing patterns used, plus the Instagram accounts of the creatives.
