Happy Valentine’s Week to all you fabric lovers! Today’s blog is a love letter of sorts—to sewists, to creativity, and to the materials that inspire us. Our valentine gift to you, sewing friends, is a closer look at some of the pink and red fabrics that make our hearts skip a beat—we hope these fun fabrics will inspire you to make something to brighten your week. Happy sewing!
Today’s fabric selections include our favorites from the pink and red family. We love that there are so many options—shades of pink and red, fabric types, and garment inspiration. This color palette is rich with variety!
Our first group of fabrics is inspired by romantic shades of rose. We love silk noil or floral rayon challis for a top like the Patina Blouse or Romey Top . Our midweight Ventana twill is a perfect match for a pair of Rose Pants or Eve Trousers .We’ll top it all off with a Nova Coat or a vest like The Miller in gorgeous wool blend coating to create the perfect romantic rose look!
Our final group includes the brightest fabrics of the bunch—these eye-catching fabrics are sure to boost your mood these last weeks of winter! All three fabrics are ideal for multi-season jackets (think Hovea or Tamarack) or a fun, take-everywhere tote bag like The Costermonger . For quick and easy everyday garments, we love both the canvas and the stretch corduroy for a Cleo Pinafore or Erin Dungarees.
There are, as always, even more amazing fabrics to discover, whether you’re browsing in person or online! Here are a few more of our valentine-inspired fabric picks:
