Product Description
Fairytale Blue from the The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK
A Storybook Christmas Filled with Nutcracker Magic
Fairytale Blue from The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK captures the theatrical magic of the classic Christmas story in a wonderfully detailed feature print. Set against a deep midnight blue background, an enchanting assortment of Nutcracker soldiers, ballerinas and the Mouse King is scattered amongst decorated Christmas trees, drums, sleighs, ballet shoes, crowns, trumpets and wrapped presents. Candy canes, gingerbread figures, golden stars and musical notes add to the playful scene, while holly, berries, poinsettias, leafy sprigs and snowflakes weave traditional Christmas imagery throughout the design. Reds, greens, powder blues, soft pinks and warm golds stand out beautifully against the rich blue ground.
With so many individual motifs to discover, Fairytale Blue is an excellent choice for fussy cutting and feature blocks in Christmas quilts. Nutcracker figures, dancers, trees and other storybook elements can be framed individually, while larger pieces allow the full illustrated design to become the focus. It would also work beautifully for quilt borders, Christmas stockings, advent calendars, tree skirts, festive cushions and table décor. For bag making and smaller sewing projects, consider project bags, tote bags, zipper pouches, fabric baskets, gift bags and handmade decorations that showcase favourite motifs from the print.
As one of the feature designs within The Nutcracker Collection, Fairytale Blue brings together the collection's ballet, music and traditional Christmas themes. Pair it with the coordinating Twinkle prints for a starry contrast, Candy Cane Stripes for crisp graphic detail, or the Foliage designs to draw out the holly, berries and greenery within the illustration. Coordinating reds, greens, creams and blues can also be used to frame the motifs and create a balanced festive colour story.
Made from 100% cotton with a weight of approximately 145gsm, Fairytale Blue is suitable for patchwork and quilting, home décor sewing, bag making, accessories, general craft sewing and textile arts. For anyone searching for Nutcracker quilting fabric, blue Christmas cotton fabric UK or storybook Christmas fabric for festive sewing, this character-filled print offers plenty of creative possibilities.
