Product Description
Stretch in Mint from the Alabaster Hues by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman
Fresh mint botanicals with an easy, flowing rhythm
Stretch in Mint brings a calm, refreshing feel to the Alabaster Hues collection, featuring gently trailing botanical sprigs scattered across a soft mint green ground. Finely drawn leaves, buds, and stems drift across the surface in white linework, creating a relaxed sense of movement that feels natural and balanced. The motif is detailed yet open, offering visual interest without density, and giving the fabric a light, breathable character.
The mint colourway is cool and soothing, sitting comfortably between green and blue, and working beautifully as a low-volume colour in patchwork and quilting. This fabric is ideal for quilt backgrounds, secondary blocks, and supporting prints where a hint of colour adds freshness without overpowering the design. The flowing botanical pattern softens angular piecing and pairs particularly well with structured geometrics, scattered florals, and textured blenders from the collection.
For home décor sewing, Stretch in Mint lends itself to projects where a gentle botanical presence enhances the overall look. Cushion covers, table runners, fabric wall hangings, and soft furnishings benefit from the calm movement of the trailing design. In bag making and accessories, this floral quilting cotton works beautifully for linings, project bags, zip pouches, and tote bags, adding a clean, contemporary touch with subtle detail.
Printed on 100% cotton with a weight of 145gsm, Stretch in Mint has a smooth, stable hand that is easy to work with for precision piecing, applique, and general craft sewing. Designed by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman, it coordinates effortlessly with the rest of the Alabaster Hues collection. Pair it with crisp whites, soft peach tones, lavender hues, or gently textured prints from the range to create layered quilts and sewing projects that feel cohesive, fresh, and thoughtfully composed.
