Cotton + Steel’s debut collaboration in the knit fabric world is here, and it’s called “Hello.†This collection is centered around playful, kid-friendly designs, making it an exciting addition for anyone looking to create adorable garments for children. Printed on their latest substrate—a soft, stretchy blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex—it's perfect for sewing everything from casual wear to baby essentials. With a wide range of prints available, this fabric collection is specifically tailored for kids' clothing, ensuring compatibility with popular sewing patterns like those from Oliver + S.
The fabrics in this collection are not just practical but also incredibly fun to work with. Whether you're a seasoned sewer or new to knitting, there's plenty of inspiration to spark your creativity. For instance, these knit pajamas featuring Playtime Leggings made from Flotsam and Jetsam Navy paired with Hello Peach are absolutely charming. If you’re interested, we have a handy tutorial on how to add cuffs to knit patterns to make pajamas even more stylish.
Here are some additional ideas to inspire your next sewing project:
1. For a delightful top, consider making a School Bus T-shirt in Flotsam and Jetsam Cream. The vibrant colors will surely bring joy to any child.
2. A playful raglan t-shirt could feature the Field Trip design, with the front in Snow Leopard Neutral and the sleeves in Starry Grey. This combination adds a touch of modernity and fun.
3. Comfortable yoga pants, such as the Nature Walk style, can be crafted using Snow Leopard Navy, offering both style and functionality.
4. The Lunch Box Tee looks particularly cute when made in Hello Citron, adding a pop of color to everyday outfits.
5. The Hopscotch Knit Top pattern can be transformed into something special by choosing Starry Black fabric, creating a sleek and classic look.
6. For young boys, the Parachute Polo in Flotsam and Jetsam Royal Blue offers a sporty yet stylish option.
7. Even babies can enjoy this collection—imagine a sweet lullaby layette where the pants are in Starry Grey and the jacket in Starry Seashell.
Beyond children's clothing, these knits can also breathe life into patterns originally designed for woven fabrics. Some great examples include tutorials for transforming the Library Dress or the Playtime Tunic and Dress into knit versions. Additionally, the Rollerskate Dress and Book Report Dress offer unique opportunities to experiment with these versatile materials.
As you dive into this collection, remember that the possibilities are endless. Each fabric tells its own story, and with a little imagination, you can create pieces that reflect the personality and style of the wearer. Happy sewing!
