Garden Playtime features gentle colours and classic May Gibbs designs with ginghams, sweet cameos, and playful bush characters. The collection has a soft, nostalgic Australian feel that suits coordinated sewing projects across many styles and ages.
This range works beautifully for baby makes, nursery sewing, toddler clothing, quilts, patchwork, and gift sewing, especially when you want prints that mix easily within the same palette.
We have this range available across multiple substrates, including:
- Cotton quilting fabric
- Cotton duck canvas
- Bamboo jersey
- Lightweight cotton lawn
- Cotton double gauze
- Handkerchief style prints and panels
Having the same design story available on different fabric bases makes it easy to choose the right feel and function for each project, while keeping everything visually coordinated.
