The Ballerina fabric collection by Jennie Wardle of Jen Digital Art features sweet pastel bears, bunnies, and elephants dressed as tiny ballerinas. With soft colours and playful characters, this collection is ideal for sewing projects for babies, toddlers, and little ones.
The coordinating prints are designed to work together, making it easy to combine fabrics when planning quilts, nursery décor, or handmade gifts. The gentle palette and charming illustrations create a light and cheerful theme for children’s sewing projects. You can explore the full range in the Jen Digital Art Ballerina fabric collection.
Ballerina Quilting Panel Included
The range also includes a feature panel, which provides a ready-made focal point for quilting and sewing projects. The Jen Digital Art Ballerina Bear Panel can be used as the centre of a baby quilt, a feature block, or a nursery panel for wall hangings and cushions.
Quilting panels are a popular choice because they simplify layout planning while still allowing you to add borders, sashing, or coordinating prints to complete your project.
Sewing Project Ideas
The Ballerina fabrics are suitable for a wide range of sewing projects including:
- Baby quilts and cot sized quilts
- Nursery panels and wall hangings
- Cushions and soft nursery décor
- Children’s clothing and accessories
- Handmade gifts and keepsakes
The coordinating prints also work well for patchwork blocks, borders, and binding, helping you create a cohesive quilt top with minimal effort.
Simple Coordinates for the Ballerina Collection
For easy coordinating fabrics, you might like to pair the Ballerina prints with Devonstone Collection Fundamentals checks, stripes and spots. These classic prints add gentle contrast and are useful for borders, sashing, and binding.
Another option is to use solid dyed cotton fabrics in soft pastel shades or calm neutral tones. Solids can help frame the feature prints and allow the panel artwork to stand out.
