“Gathering in the Garden”: A Collaborative Fabric Collection with Cotton + Steel Fabrics.

Announcing “Gathering in the Garden”: A Collaborative Fabric Collection with Cotton + Steel Fabrics.

Hi friends, I'm super excited to share with you all my first fabric collection with Cotton + Steel Fabrics! The collection is called Gathering in the Garden, and as the name suggests, it features playful floral patterns: tulips, camellias, and poppies, to name a few. The patterns are a mix of vintage charm with a modern touch.

Screen-printed in Japan on high-quality cotton, this collection is perfect for so many things—from quilters to home decor enthusiasts and those who love to get crafty. I hope the collection will bring joy and inspiration to makers around the world.

Here are a few examples that people have shared with me so far! Amazing! Seeing these fabrics come to life on these beautiful bags makes me so happy. Look how cute these zippered pouches by kleines_hand_werk are! And Jacqueline at raketenfrau has definitely figured out how to make fanny packs covetable. Crimson Tate’s patchwork duffle kit makes me want to head out for some weekend fun.

Being my first fabric collection, I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was curious to explore the collaboration process. Cotton + Steel made the process so enjoyable. It was great to combine their knowledge of the industry with my passion for creating. One of my favorite parts of collaborating was discussing possible colorways and scale changes. It pushed me as a creative person, and I am grateful for that.

I am very proud of Gathering in the Garden and hope it brings you as much joy as it has brought me. Happy Sewing!
