Product Description
Happy Paws - Cats by Nutex
Whimsical feline characters dancing across a bold black background
Happy Paws - Cats by Nutex is a playful and characterful cotton print that brings a sense of fun and creativity to any sewing project. Set against a rich black background, this design features a charming scatter of illustrated cats in a variety of poses, colours, and patterns. From snoozing and stretching to sitting proudly with curled tails, each cat is rendered in bright, cheerful shades of turquoise, yellow, orange, red, green, and sky blue, creating a lively contrast that instantly draws the eye.
The illustration style feels hand-drawn and expressive, giving the fabric warmth and personality without becoming overly busy. The evenly spaced layout makes it easy to cut and piece, which is ideal for patchwork and quilting projects where clarity of motif matters. Use Happy Paws - Cats as a feature fabric in novelty quilts, children’s quilts, or playful throws, or fussy cut individual cats to highlight their quirky expressions within quilt blocks.
This cotton print also works beautifully for bag making and accessories. Tote bags, project bags, zip pouches, and fabric storage baskets all benefit from the bold contrast and cheerful subject matter, making it especially appealing for gifts or everyday items with a sense of humour. In home décor sewing, it can be used for cushions, draught excluders, pet accessories, or playful accents that add colour and character to modern interiors.
Printed on 100% cotton with a smooth handle and a weight of 145gsm, Happy Paws - Cats is easy to cut, press, and sew, making it suitable for both confident beginners and experienced makers. The fabric offers a good balance of softness and structure, supporting a wide range of general craft sewing and textile arts projects. For a cohesive finish, pair this cat print with coordinating stripes, spots, or blenders from the Happy Paws collection, drawing out key colours such as yellow, teal, or red to tie your project together while keeping the overall look lively and well balanced.
