Create a colourful home-made look with the new Spring 2019 collection AppleButter. This time all the explanations will be released under Free Patterns so you can print and sew anything you see on the pictures.

Apple Butter is 1940s slang for sweet talk or flattery, and we think it is the perfect name for this playful and sweet collection with vintage inspired florals. Take a closer look at the designs and our matching basics in the  AppleButter catalogue.

The collection is inspired by the elaborate dressing room of the designer’s grandmother where all kind of florals from another time collided in a lovely feminine world alongside beautiful perfume bottles and powder puffs. The sweet patterns from the 40s is what stood out with its honest simple charm.

The yellow tones are perfect for easter projects.

Hopefully spring is just around the corner, enjoy!

The BirdPond Collection is here!

31. August 2018 | Categories: Autumn, Winter/Christmas, Patchwork and quilt, Inspiration, The Studio, Fabric, Winter, Craft

Imagine a small pond surrounded by flowers, trees and shrubs as the seasons pass by. Bustling with activity, insects, frogs, birds, ducks and swans call the pond their home. Everything down to the smallest detail has a purpose for someone.

As days grow shorter and colder the pace slows down, leaves turning red and ginger before being whisked away by the crisp breeze. Winter arrives with a carpet of white snow and blue shadows. Red berries decorate the sleeping landscape for Christmas.

The BirdPond Collection is inspired by the image of life by a pond and takes you trough the colors of the autumn and winter seasons. The sprinkle effect that characterizes this collection is inspired by nature makes all the fabrics work together in harmony to create lovely patchworks.
