Forget bright and breezy. Sail Across the Sea is coastal with a darker side. Inspired by stormy seascapes and shifting tides, this Make + Believe collection brings deep, brooding colour and dramatic pattern to anything you make, with a sophisticated edge.
Soft, breathable and easy to sew, it has a smooth finish and a gentle drape that suits a wide range of projects. It's a natural for quilting and patchwork, where the moody palette makes a striking statement. It's equally at home in dressmaking, from shirts, blouses and dresses to little extras like ties and pocket squares.
Beyond garments, it earns its place around the house in cushions, lampshades, curtains and soft furnishings. It's also a reliable choice for bag making, giving a refined finish and the durability a well-used tote or pouch needs.
A few places this fabric loves to land:
Whether you're piecing a statement quilt or stitching a shirt with some seafaring swagger, Sail Across the Sea puts the drama of the deep into every make.
✔Machine wash at 30°C or lower
✔Wash with similar colours for the first few washes
✔Do not use bleach
✔Tumble dry on low, or line dry
✔Iron on a cotton setting
✔Always test a small sample first to check your preferred washing method
Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, this organic cotton is a lighter-footprint choice from field to finished make. It's naturally breathable, soft against the skin and hardwearing enough for years of use. At the end of its life it breaks down naturally instead of lingering as waste.
