Product Description
Candy Cane Stripe Red from the The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK
Classic Christmas Stripes with a Candy Cane Twist
Candy Cane Stripe Red from The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK brings the unmistakable look of traditional Christmas sweets to festive sewing. Fine diagonal stripes of bright red, crisp white and green run continuously across the fabric, creating a lively directional pattern with plenty of movement. The stronger red presence gives this colourway a wonderfully traditional Christmas character, while the narrow scale of the stripe allows it to work easily alongside more detailed prints.
Striped quilting fabrics are particularly useful for adding definition to patchwork, and Candy Cane Stripe Red offers plenty of possibilities. Use it for borders and sashing, cut it on different angles to create changing directions within blocks, or make the most of the stripe for eye-catching quilt binding. It is equally suited to Christmas stockings, advent calendars, tree skirts, table runners, placemats and festive cushions. For smaller projects, try it for fabric gift bags, bunting, zipper pouches, tote bags, decorations and handmade accessories where the crisp candy stripe can become a distinctive design feature.
Part of the playful, traditional world of The Nutcracker Collection, this red Christmas quilting fabric makes an excellent companion to the collection's character prints and more decorative seasonal designs. Pair it with coordinating fabrics from the collection for a cohesive Christmas palette, or combine it with plain and tonal reds, greens and creams when you need a patterned blender with a little more personality. Used alongside Candy Cane Stripe Green, it also offers an easy way to repeat the same motif while shifting the colour balance across a project.
Made from 100% cotton with a weight of approximately 145gsm, Candy Cane Stripe Red is suitable for patchwork and quilting, bag making, accessories, home décor sewing, general crafts and textile arts. For anyone looking for red striped quilting fabric, candy cane fabric UK or traditional Christmas cotton fabric for patchwork, this cheerful diagonal stripe is a versatile choice for seasonal sewing.
