Quilts for children and babies are something that most quilters LOVE to make for their children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Well, we’ve got an entire display idea, for shops, of a great gift suggestion that many might find ‘fairy’ appealing. How about quilts, dress-up clothes, and even a jacket?! All for children and all about fairies.
Riley Blake’s ‘Thimblelina and the Sewing Fairies’ line makes easy work of finding the perfect fabric for ‘all the things’. Although not released until October, it gives you plenty of time to plan.
*Thimbelina & the Sewing Fairies Handsewn Patchwork Multi*
This vibrant fabric showcases a delightful patchwork design inspired by the whimsical world of Thimbelina and the Sewing Fairies. It is a good representation of the fabrics in the line, but in one great piece. The pattern features a variety of squares, each adorned with charming illustrations of fairies, sewing tools, and floral motifs.
Imagine the darling piece above in a quilted jacket or twirly skirt. No need for patchwork because it is all done for you. Just quilt the whole cloth for the jacket and sew the tiers together for the skirt.
That’s just a start. With the entire line, Thimbelina and The Sewing Fairies, or at least a few more pieces, you can make these simple dress-up costumes that will surely make you Queen of the Forest.
Thoughtfully sized, the crown, wings, and wand are easy to craft, while the adjustable skirt ensures a great fit for growing kids. The pattern includes detailed instructions for using Peltex stabilizer, fusible fleece, and ribbon, ensuring a sturdy and polished finish.
The hat, designed for comfort and structure, incorporates fusible fleece and offers endless customization possibilities.
