If sewing were an Olympic sport, this would be gold medal-worthy...
While planning our first-ever Artist Collection Drop, we were beyond excited to introduce the stunning designs of Jennifer Bouron, Jessica Nielsen, and RouCouCou.
But we quickly realised we couldn’t showcase all the creative possibilities on our own—we needed reinforcements! So, we reached out to a few talented members of our sewing community to help bring the fabrics to life and inspire fabric lovers all over the world!
But here’s where it got interesting: we only had 1m sample pieces to give our makers (sometimes even less!), and we chose the prints for them. Talk about a creative challenge!
As always, our sewing community blew us away with their resourcefulness and imagination. They turned these small cuts of fabric into extraordinary pieces, proving that a little can truly go a long way.
All the photos in this post come directly from the makers themselves, so don’t forget to check out their Instagram pages for even more inspiration and ideas!
And as you browse, you’ll also get a sense of the different print scales across each base—especially the stunning Jennifer Bouron Chalk Flowers.
So, grab a cuppa, settle in, and enjoy scrolling through these incredible makes. You might just find your next project waiting for you!
