Serenity In Japan by The V & A - Sakura - by Make + Believe

A little bit of museum magic for your sewing room. Serenity in Japan is a Make + Believe collection created in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum, inspired by Japanese landscapes, flowers and art. Delicate blossoms, flowing leaves and scenic motifs come in rich reds, blues and greens, and selected designs are finished with a shimmer of metallic gold.

Printed on 100% premium organic cotton, the fabric is soft to handle with a beautiful drape. It's a joy to work with whether you're piecing a quilt or cutting a garment. The designs coordinate easily, so you can mix bold with delicate for a look that feels both traditional and fresh.

A few places this fabric loves to land:

• Quilting and patchwork, where the gold accents add a special sparkle
• Dressmaking, from blouses and dresses to kimono-style jackets and skirts
• Tote bags, pouches and zipped cases
• Cushion covers, table runners and wall hangings
• Bunting, displays and table décor
• Gifts for anyone who loves Japanese design

Whether you're making a show-stopping quilt or a stylish handmade wardrobe piece, Serenity in Japan brings calm, colour and a touch of gold to your sewing.
