Product Description
Sugar Plum Green from the The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK
A Richly Festive Tapestry of Nutcracker Traditions
Sugar Plum Green from The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK brings the colour and theatrical charm of the classic Christmas ballet to a rich evergreen background. Nutcracker soldiers and graceful dancers in red dresses are arranged amongst decorated Christmas trees, traditional rocking horses, golden bells, crowns, stars and ornate baubles. Musical notes, ribbons and tiny hearts add playful detail, while an abundance of holly, berries and leafy branches weaves through the design. Warm gold, bright red, soft blue, blush pink and lighter green stand out beautifully against the deep green ground, creating an intricate print with the decorative symmetry and character of traditional folk art.
The repeating arrangement offers plenty of opportunities for creative cutting and placement. Individual Nutcrackers, dancers, rocking horses, Christmas trees, stars and ornaments can be fussy cut for feature quilt blocks, English Paper Piecing, appliqué and smaller decorative projects. Used in larger sections, the richly patterned design makes a striking focal fabric for Christmas quilts, borders, stockings, advent calendars and tree skirts. It would also work beautifully for festive cushions, table runners, fabric baskets, tote bags, project bags, zipper pouches and handmade gift bags.
Sugar Plum Green is one of the more decorative feature prints within The Nutcracker Collection, bringing together its ballet, music and traditional Christmas themes in a single design. Pair it with Sugar Plum Cream to carry the same motifs between light and dark areas of a project, or introduce Candy Cane Stripes for crisp contrast, Twinkle prints for smaller-scale texture and Foliage designs to echo the abundant greenery. Red, cream, blue and tonal green blenders can also help frame individual motifs and balance the detail of the print.
Made from 100% cotton with a weight of approximately 145gsm, Sugar Plum Green is suitable for patchwork and quilting, home décor sewing, bag making, accessories, general craft sewing and textile arts. For projects calling for Nutcracker quilting fabric, green Christmas cotton fabric UK or decorative festive fabric with dancers, rocking horses and traditional motifs, this detailed print offers a rich foundation for seasonal sewing.
