Introducing Artist Collection – Drop 2: Featuring Myriam Van Neste
There’s something very satisfying about working with a fabric that feels truly special. Something fresh, modern, and full of personality, like our second Artist Collection drop, featuring the bold and joyful work of Canadian artist Myriam Van Neste.
Her signature style is filled with playful shapes, rich colours, and a love of nature. Coming to life on two beautiful bases: a soft, breathable cotton lawn and a silky rayon lawn with elegant drape.
To celebrate the launch, we invited some talented members of our sewing community to play with the new designs. The twist? Most were working with less than 1.3m, using our test pieces!
The result? A gorgeous mix of clever projects that show just how far a small cut of fabric can go when paired with a little imagination.
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.
