Product Description
Hop in Sunshine from the Alabaster Hues by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman
Cheerful sunshine yellow dots with a light, uplifting feel
Hop in Sunshine adds a bright yet gentle warmth to the Alabaster Hues collection, featuring evenly spaced clusters of tiny floral dots scattered across a soft sunshine yellow ground. Each dot is formed from delicate petal-like shapes, giving the print a botanical character that feels playful without being bold. The overall look is light, optimistic, and well balanced, making this fabric easy to incorporate into a wide variety of sewing projects.
The sunshine yellow background is fresh and inviting rather than overpowering, offering a low-volume colour that brings warmth and lift to patchwork designs. This makes Hop in Sunshine an excellent choice for quilt backgrounds, secondary blocks, sashing, and borders where a hint of colour helps define the layout while keeping the overall palette calm. The regular spacing of the dot motif introduces gentle structure, pairing beautifully with florals, textured blenders, and other prints from the collection.
For home décor sewing, this dotted quilting cotton works well in projects that benefit from a soft, cheerful touch. Cushion covers, table runners, fabric storage, and lightweight soft furnishings all gain a sense of brightness without visual clutter. In bag making and accessories, Hop in Sunshine is equally effective as a lining or exterior fabric, adding a warm, contemporary accent to tote bags, project bags, and zip pouches.
Printed on 100% cotton with a weight of 145gsm, Hop in Sunshine has a smooth, stable hand that is well suited to precision piecing, applique, and general craft sewing. Designed by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman, it coordinates effortlessly with the wider Alabaster Hues collection. Pair it with crisp whites, soft mint greens, blush tones, or gentle lavenders from the range to create layered quilts and sewing projects that feel fresh, cohesive, and thoughtfully composed.
