    Product Details

    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:

    • Quilts and patchwork with a bold, nautical edge
    • Shirts, blouses, dresses and accessories like ties and pocket squares
    • Tote bags, pouches and zipped cases
    • Cushions, lampshades and curtains
    • Soft furnishings and coastal home décor
    • Gifts for sailors, sea lovers and anyone who likes a moody palette

    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.

    sustainability

    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.
