Product Description
Stripe Blue from the Tropica by Makower UK Collection
Vibrant hand-drawn stripes with a tropical rhythm
Stripe Blue from the Tropica Collection by Makower UK brings a lively sense of movement to any sewing project, featuring hand-drawn vertical lines in bold, energetic colour. Set against a deep navy ground, irregular strokes in turquoise, lime, aqua, soft lilac, and vivid magenta flow in organic waves, creating a dynamic striped print with a distinctly contemporary coastal feel. The effect is playful yet refined, making this versatile quilting cotton ideal for makers who enjoy combining crisp linear designs with the relaxed charm of painterly texture. Crafted from 100% cotton and woven to a weight of 145gsm, this fabric is soft, smooth, and easy to handle for patchwork, bag making, accessories, home décor, and wider textile arts. Its 44"/112cm width offers ample flexibility whether you are piecing precise quilt blocks, shaping structured tote bags, sewing bold cushion covers, or adding a colourful accent lining to handmade pouches. As part of the Tropica range, Stripe Blue pairs beautifully with the collection’s botanical prints, geometrics, and complementary blenders. The mix of teal, blue, citrus green, and violet tones allows for striking contrasts or harmonious palettes, supporting both bright summer quilting projects and year-round modern patchwork designs. This print works especially well as sashing, borders, binding, or feature strips where its directional energy can enhance the overall layout. Makers looking for long-tail search options such as “blue striped quilting cotton UK,” “modern stripe cotton fabric,” or “tropical sewing fabric for bags” will find Stripe Blue a strong match for vibrant, contemporary sewing.
