Indulge your sweet tooth with the delightful Sweet Tooth fabric collection from Poppie Cotton! Dive into a world of whimsy and charm as candy-colored hues dance across the softest fabrics, begging to be transformed into your next favorite project.
Designed by Elea Lutz, this sweet vintage fabric is a tribute to all the things we love about Halloween. Witches riding brooms with bats flying overhead, pumpkins, candy, kittens with bowties, black cats, ghosts, skeletons, stars, polka dots and of course flowers. The color palette has a lovely vintage orange with black, cream, yellow and purple. This fabric collection will have you sewing all kinds of projects from quilts to pillows to trick or treat bags to fall dresses and skirts. You will feel inspired by the combination of colors and eclectic designs.
I've whipped up some magic with this collection, bringing to life the Easy Charm Tote Pattern, available on my website, bemandythings.com. Picture yourself strolling through the farmers' market or a sunny park, this tote slung over your shoulder, radiating sweetness with every step. Also perfect as a trick or treat bag for youngsters. Two interior slip pockets and a magnetic snap closure make it easy to store your things while being secure.
And for those cozy home accents, I couldn't resist crafting a few charming baskets using the free pattern by the talented Svetlana Sotak from her YouTube channel. They're perfect for storing treats or adding a touch of whimsy to any room!
This collection is available at your local quilt shops May 2024. I can't wait to see what you create!
