We all look forward to a quick getaway and if there’s a perfect little idyllic spot not too far from home, that’s an even bigger bonus. For this week’s Fabric Focus, we’re zooming in on Lewis & Irene’s On The Lake collection, and it’s certainly one that will have you dreaming of days by the open water.
Drawing their inspirations from wild swimming, On The Lake displays just how at one with nature you can be.
We’re huge fans of Lewis & Irene in the warehouse, and with collections like this that evoke such calmness, it’s no surprise that we had to choose it as one of our summer picks.
Each design and colourway offer perfect snapshots of the main print’s story, with ripples on the lake, delicate dragonflies and lively frogs captured mid-jump in between lily pads. We’d be lying if we said we hadn’t thought about picturing ourselves sat with a book, overlooking the water and wildlife!
With the serenity the range brings to simply look at, the idea of sewing with it feels just as peaceful. Luckily for us all, we have a FREE downloadable quilt pattern to accompany the collection. Available in three colourways, there’s a perfect choice for all.
Maybe keep a notebook handy next to the sewing machine; we have a feeling as this flies under the foot you may have a thought or two about which of the lakes to visit next. It would be rude not to, wouldn’t it?!
If you’ve used On The Lake or wish to, don’t forget to share your WIPs and makes with us on social media with the tag #WWMakes!
There’s many things we do to get ‘the shot’ for Fabric Focus, and this one’s no different.
It’s all about fabric safety and with Francesca at the helm, there’s no way of these toppling over! If you’ve already seen our Jungle Paradise post at the beginning of the month, she clearly has a knack for hiding. Don’t worry, I’ll get her out of hiding soon!
Happy sewing, crafters!
